I have begun to stream with twitch.tv and while playing the game I experience no lag. But when i watch the recorded gameplay It's really choppy. http://www.twitch.tv/antherpanther/b/337844794 there is a video to the gamplay. The game is called Hotline Miami.

How long was the video run? You're trying to get 30 fps but getting much less?
It might be good to profile when the video, and see if the frames are irregularly timed (the choppiness).

It could be the use of window's Sleep() which is awful for high resolution delays. The video thread not getting schedule in 10 time slices could produce such an effect. (miss 5 frames) = blah never mind - there's timeBeginPeriod() Resolution should be sufficient.

unfortunately I don't know what's specifically causing your problem. are you able to try capturing without dxtory and seeing if the problem still continues? just to check to see if it's not dxtory?

Is thier a guide to show me how to make it work without dxtory, or any other capture software? If I have to, what other software would you recommend me to use with OBS?

-Thanks for the help so far. I will definitely give a donation if this works out for mr, you have been super helpful. :)

well you can try it out with the build in software capture source -- it just requires that you run your game in some sort of windowed mode. just set it to window capture, and select the game window. if using monitor capture isntead, make sure to disable aero.
