Trying to stream Borderlands 2
I may be nitpicking and the stream may be fine, but my ingame FPS is fine and smooth. But the stream seems a little bit choppy, quality is still decent just feel I could improve it some.

Here is a test stream of it http://www.twitch.tv/roxorion/b/494876172
I notice with the gun running motion, doesn't seem as smooth as it is ingame.

Here is the log from that broadcast

That stream looks fine in my opinion. Your game is probably running at ~60fps, so naturally if you stream at 30fps it won't look exactly as smooth. But that's normal, and nothing to worry about.
