Had a few questions/issues that didn't seem to be too obvious:
Thanks in advance!
(Related, is there a way to 'Duplicate/Copy Scene'? If I need to set one up for each game I play to cut down the lagged frames/preprocess time, I'd rather keep a single layout and copy it a few times to keep things looking uniform and professional if possible, and switch the hotkey assignment based on which game I plan to play that night.)
Link to the cast from the log above: http://www.twitch.tv/ferretbomb/b/412836611
Come to think of it, some of the lagged frames MAY have been my 'main monitor only' scene, which is a Monitor Capture (rather than game) I switched to for many of the cinematics in the game... it was pointed out late in the cast that it got INCREDIBLY choppy any time I did that, and my framerate dropped to around 6-8fps from the target of 60. Going to have to try again without doing that and see if my lagged frames count goes down.
- Is there a reason to enable Aero?
I tend to leave it off as a personal preference, but I see people recommending turning it on when using Window Capture mode for some reason (or saying that 'you can turn Aero on'). Does having Aero on enable some kind of offscreen palette-grabbing to speed up capture, or am I OK in leaving it off to lighten the load on system resources? - Are disabled (un-checked) sources in a scene still included in the Preprocess load?
I have one 'Main Game (+chat/cam)' scene set up with game/window/monitor captures as-appropriate for various games, and un-check the ones I'm not actively using, so I don't have to remember or keep a list of which games need window-cap (like Binding of Isaac), which work with Game Capture (Mark of the Ninja), and which need a Monitor capture with a sub-region (like Super Crate Box).
I'm getting a TON of lagged frames though (almost 12%!) and it seems like most of that time is spent in Preprocess. - Lagged frames
As noted above, I'm getting a bunch of them. If you could take a look at the log and let me know what I can do to reduce them, it would be greatly appreciated. The stream looks pretty good as-is, but I'd like to make it even better if at all possible.
Thanks in advance!

04:28:56:Link to the cast from the log above: http://www.twitch.tv/ferretbomb/b/412836611
Come to think of it, some of the lagged frames MAY have been my 'main monitor only' scene, which is a Monitor Capture (rather than game) I switched to for many of the cinematics in the game... it was pointed out late in the cast that it got INCREDIBLY choppy any time I did that, and my framerate dropped to around 6-8fps from the target of 60. Going to have to try again without doing that and see if my lagged frames count goes down.
