Hey everyone. Firstly I just want to say what a pleasure it is to use this great software. I hope everyone can donate so we can make OBS the best it can be!
Anyways, onto my question. I am trying to stream DayZ on twitch with the best quality possible while being accessible for those with lower internet speeds. I 'm not sure what the average twitch user's download speed would be.
I used to stream using 3500kbps @ 720p 60fps but I found when I was turning in-game my stream would get very pixellated. So now I have found a sweet spot at 540p 60fps with 128k AAC audio output using 3250kbps using this formula: ((960 * 540 * 60 * 0.1) / 1000) + 128 . The 128 stands for the audio bitrate used. My cpu preset is veryfast and I am using Lanczos filter.
I have noticed that the video looks darker than in 720p but the quality is not that bad. I find it quite watchable. I just don't want to exclude people from watching because they have a poor internet connection. I can supply links to my recorded streams if necessary.
Thank you.
