Hey guys. I'm having some trouble with my recordings where they start off looking pretty good, and then the quality suffers for a bit and then it goes back to looking fine. It repeats this cycle throughout the video. Is there any way to keep the quality high and constant? Here's a video.

Sorry if I'm painful to watch. This was a long time ago and I like to think that I've improved...

These are my specs, if anyone needs them.

Also, I've been trying to upload these to Youtube but it gets stuck at the processing period and never actually uploads. How do I make it so that I can upload the video files?

Thanks in advance.

I think your first problem is you picked Roy. But seriously start out at 30 fps. Even for top level streams of melee almost everyone is using 30fps. Later on when you get consistency you can try going back to 60. What is your upload speed roughly? If you can up the bitrate over 2k it would help with quality.

Wow ok. First of all everyone knows Roy is Marth's superior because he has fire.
My upload speed according to speedtest.net is 17 mb/s. So with that, what should my bitrate be?

Set your bitrate to 2500 and see how it looks. You could go higher but sometimes twitch gets angry. I personally have been using 3500 for over a year non partnered without problems.

2000-2500 Kbps or less is generally the recommended range for non-partnered streams to help reduce viewer buffering. Even if your connection allows for 3500 Kbps (the Twitch maximum) or more, viewers still have to be able to get the data from Twitch at that speed; when they can't, the video stops while it buffers.

If 1280x1024 at 60 FPS doesn't look good in that bitrate range, you should consider downscaling your stream resolution under Settings > Video, lowering the stream FPS to 30, or both. Youtube does not support 60 FPS playback, so if one of your goals is to upload your videos there, 30 FPS would probably be a better choice.

i think you should set Game Capture instead of Motion capture or window capture.
If you set game capture, there should be a piece code like that in your log

Actually, I seem to have gotten it to record fairly well! It's up on Youtube now, so you can judge for yourself.

Thanks guys!
