Hey,
I'm used to streaming in 612p, would love to test the software but there is no 612p to choose from the list of available resolutions. Hope its possible to add it.

cheers

this doesnt work, it cuts the stream from my 1680x1050 to the 612p, resulting in displaying only a chunk of my game.

What specifically are you streaming? Do you mean for downscales? There is a way around this -- you can set the base resolution to the desired resolution, then hit Ctrl-F on the source when it's selected to make it "fit" to that screen, but it will forfeit proper downscale filtering. Hmm, then again, if you want proper downscale filtering with that output, you can "hack" a custom downscale resolution by doing the same, but instead doing something that is 1.5 or 2.0 times the size of 612, then using the downscale.

For example, let's say your output is indeed 1680x1050, and you want to output at 979x612, yet you still want properly filtered downscale output. You could instead theoretically set your main resolution to 1958x1224, use a 2.0 downscale, then use the "fit to screen" on your source to make it fit to the screen. It should then give proper downscaled filtering to 612p.

Properly filtered downscaling is not a simple process - that's why there are only a few downscale selections.
 
I also normally stream at 612p with other software. I find the down sampling options aren't too bad typically they will give you something close to what you're looking for 1600x900 gives you a 600p downsample which is close enough for me. It would be nice if there were a few more downsampling options would be nice though.

I agree, there are few people still streaming 4:3 and there are some that use 16:10 too.

As Jim has said, there is a reason why downscale are only available in some multiples of the resolution. The workaround is to set your base resolution to twice the resolution you want to downscale to.
