Question / Help Not Showing Video Properly and Mic has an Echo?

[Rusty_Sporks]

I was hoping someone could possibly help me out and I'm sorry if this is a stupid post, but I can't get my Streams to show video. It's almost like it screenshots one picture and then just stays like that. On the rare occasions I can get the video to work, it's incredibly laggy. Audio works, but it has some weird echo effect to it when I speak. It could be my internet I suppose, but I have no issues streaming in 720 with the program my Elgato came with. Though I kind of dislike that program and really want to use OBS since it has so many more features to mess around with. I generally am hopeless when it comes to stuff like this, so hopefully someone can catch on to what I'm doing wrong.

Here's my most recent OBS log, again sorry if it comes off as really dumb. I'm super new to this:

Also as mentioned, I'm streaming with the Elgato Game Capture for console games. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not?

Hopefully it's a simple fix as I really have my heart set on using this program.

You set your elgato audio to be your mic audio apparently. Also, your comptuer is a bit too slow for 720p encoding. You'll have to downscale to 540p in video settings instead to prevent that issue

I just find it strange that I can stream in 720 on Game Capture HD and not OBS. Is it dependent on the program itself in relation to the computer or just my computer?

I may just have to stick with the other program as I don't want to lower my quality which saddens me greatly as I really was looking forward to trying out OBS. :C

The Elgato application itself uses a hardware encoder for streaming, which results in lower quality than when using x264 at identical bit rate and resolution settings, but no CPU load, since it doesn't use your CPU to encode the video.

But since your computer can't handle doing 720p encoding using x264, you don't really have much of a choice if you want to stream at that resolution.
