i dont understand it , if you dont look hard enough you wont see it buy my stream is choppy(you need to play it in fullscreen). i am recording it at 60FPS but it feels like its showing only 35-40 fps... this is unacceptable seeing as my streaming / internet/ game and pc specs are fine...(1000down100up/i5 3470 @3.6/16gb ram/gtx 660/running game at 150fps+)
can anyone tell me what to do?

i tried playing with all the settings in advanced/video/encoding etc , this is the best quality and fluidity i could come up with...
is there anything missing? , this doesnt look like 60fps stream at all
>>> i dont care about the video quality, i just want the movement to be more FLUENT, i dont know how to explain... i just know i need more fps and this videos dont have more than 45-50 fps...

check my videos: http://www.twitch.tv/coltezeu/b/499140480

http://www.twitch.tv/coltezeu/b/498881291

and now check this guy's video : http://www.twitch.tv/meclipse/b/499038042
look at how fluent the movement is , its just natural, when he rotates screen left-right no tearing , no fps drops no nothing , its just fluent... what can i do to achieve this?

I REPEAT, you need to be in FULLSCREEN to notice the differences.

When I run FRAPS to show the framerate on your video, that guys' video, and my own 60fps Twitch videos, in all cases it shows about the same framerate. I think you're perceiving a problem that isn't actually there.
 
Your log looks fine and the Twitch VOD player is notoriously bad, I suspect whatever playback issues you're having are caused by the player and not an issue with the stream. If you want to check for smoothness you should save a local recording and watch it in VLC/MPC-HC/etc. instead.
 
you were right to a degree, it feels smoother but still not what i expected... i still feel like there are like 5-6 frames missing from full 60fps...got any ideeas?
 
I've tried opening my VODs in different browsers while looking at FRAPS framerate monitor. IE is particularly bad, unless you open the popout window, then its on parity with Firefox. In no case does FRAPS report higher than about 35-40 FPS on average (there can be brief moments it hits 50, but its never sustained), even on VODs that are recorded at 60 FPS, no matter who's 60 FPS VOD I try. Either FRAPS is incapable of interpreting Twitch's VOD player's framerate correctly, or there's practically no benefit in going over 30 FPS in any case. I'd be interested in hearing if other browsers are capable of showing a higher framerate. Btw, I just updated my Flash to the latest version yesterday from Adobe's web site.

This has me re-evaluating if there's any benefit at all in streaming at over 30 FPS. And perhaps there's a reason YouTube downgrades all faster video to 30.

If I'm not mistaken, even the trial version of FRAPS has the full-blown framerate monitor, so anyone should be able to try this for themselves. I'd be very interested to find out about any results that contradict what I've just found.
