And here is a video for a visual:

Watch the whole video. Kind of looks blurry period but mainly around 40 sec-end mark I think the trees look way to pixelated

I know in this video I wasn't streaming but I wanted to see what it would look like before I would start streaming. I watched a couple of streamers who I know aren't partnered that have use lower bitrates and their streams look awesome(Minecraft). I just want to know if I am doing something wrong and if you could help me fix it. I just don't want it to look that pixelated.
Using Quicksync
Bitrate: 2400kbps
1080p downscaled to 720p
FPS: 30

 

[R1CH]

Use x264, more bitrate or lower resolution.

 

[Crazycanukk]

Thats about what i would expect.

Quicksync is h264 encoding and not as refined as the native X264 so your quality will suffer from using the Quicksync to encode your stream. You probably have it set on fastest compression setting so you lose a bit of quality on that and your bit rate is fine to stream but you might gain some quality and lessen the pixelating with a higher bit rate of say 3000-3200 (of course only if you have the upload rate to support this

others with more experience then me may have some other suggestions or corrections to what i said though.

 

[Videophile]

Yes, it will look like this when using quicksync.

Solution: Don't use quicksync.

[jamesisthemain]

Even on x264 it still looks pretty pixelated not as bad as quicksync though and in the advanced tab I have it on the best quality for quicksync. I thought 2400kbps was enough for a 720p 30fps
Heres a video:

same just has x264
and I also just want to know why other peoples look better than this if they have lower bitrates (I asked a couple of them 2000-2200kbps with 30-60fps ).

because they probably use a slower preset

or have an haswell cpu which hase way better qsv results than older intel gen cpu's

and to be quite honest with you .... videos uploaded on youtube get downscaled by youtube and look even worse

 

[jamesisthemain]

One of the streamers said his preset was on very fast and also I am using a haswell processor. And I Know that youtube videos don't look as good as the original but to me the original and the youtube video both look equally pixelated.
