Hi All!
I am trying to stream some Magicka: Wizard Wars. I am not going for 1080p, but want to have a good quality 720p stream. So far I was able to achieve good quality for low motion scenes - like initial screen and score screen look really good and sharp and colors are right, but as soon as game starts and everything gets in motion - stream quality drops severely. Can somebody help and provide some advice on what I might try, test, change?
Here is a one hour stream log (ignore time stamp it was started long ago and log is for latest stream:
Corresponding video can be found here:
http://video.gamecreds.com/1hpbyjfjysyz ... Wars-12-11
Beginning of the video is really flawless - all fonts are clear and all the details can be seen well and colors are right. Quality stays pretty good for a while, but the problem I am talking about is well seen at 4:00 onwards - where image becomes blurry. I completely understand that there is a lot of motion there at a time, but I've seen some starcraft battles with lots of units which still were not as blurry - so would it be possible to sequeeze some sharpness somehow? Or is this the best I can get?
Thanks and regards
