You have multiple problems, prime among them is that your computer's APU isn't cut out for video encoding. Its just not fast enough, and using its GPU isn't helping you either. You also need to be hardwired instead of using wifi.

Essentially, you need a better computer. You could probably get away with recording to your hard drive by setting the preset to UltraFast and increasing the bitrate, but I think streaming is pretty much out. You could try streaming by switching to SuperFast preset and lowering the resolution more (360p at 20fps), but I'm not sure its even worth it to stream anything at that point.

I stream and it works perfect, it's just recording that's my problem. I'll try the presets. Thanks for Replying.
