Good morning, guys. Am League of Legends players and would like to have some help with a stream configuration. Am streaming on Macbook 13' 2012 model with Windows 7 installed. Here are the specs:

◾2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory
◾Intel HD Graphics 4000

Internet: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3207316556

Looks like my video card is not the best, but mb there is any way to stream smoothly ?

Have you by chance tried out our settings estimator? (accessible via "help" on this webpage)
Of course I did! Doesnt run smoothly anyway.. Stream is like lagging and video "jumps", while ping is ok, fps are around 50 and no drop frames. By the way I am playing border less. Is there any chance to chat with you on skype or something? I wish I could obtain help faster and then share the results here.

Could you post a log of the problem? The log file is pretty important so we can see all your settings, your system, and how everything is performing, and determine what's causing your issues.

If the problem is just on the stream but not in preview, it could be internet-related issues (which we can't really help with all that much). If the problem appears in OBS preview or your game we can most likely help after seeing the log file.

Are you on a radeon laptop, using window capture with compatibility mode? Unfortunately you have no choice, but it's not the most ideal performance for capturing. Otherwise, your settings and everything look good, almost no dropped frames, almost no duplicated frames and such.

Outside of potentially changing to a different computer, there might not be much you can do about it, but I do feel it a little in the stream (I think). But that could just be because you're running at 25 fps. You might want to try 30fps just to see if it makes things a little bit smooth or not. You could also try downscale as well if you don't mind the reduced resolution of your stream, might help increase smoothness.

Use whichever works better. 'veryfast' is the standard, 'superfast' uses less CPU but also has less quality. I would recommend veryfast if it's not causing you any problems. If superfast works better for your computer, then use it instead.
