Thanks in advance

I know there is estimator on your site, but I don't think this stream is quality in which it could be

Use GAME CAPTURE.

Quality: 10
Bit-rate/Buffer: 3000
Audio: AAC / 128

FPS: 30
Disable Aero

CPU Preset: Fast

Do you think you could post your log? http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

and test your upload speed with http://testmy.net/upload and choose atleast 6 MB test size for more realistic results. (speedtest.net is inaccurate). Many people have 10Mbps upload plan but it can vary between 4-10Mbps depending where you live etc

 

[Voods]

ye, it vary between 4-7 Mbps, on speedtest.net 9-11 Mbps

Estimator is meant as a starting point. From there, it's trial and error, and lots of testing on your part until you are happy with the result.

Video quality is SUPERB! very, very clear for me.

However, it does stutter a bit. You might have to use DEFAULT settings in the Advanced tab.

Just hit the DEFAULTS button and apply. CPU Preset should be back to "Very Fast."

Because of this, your CPU will encode less, therefore, you will notice some pixels, but nothing to worry about.

Is game capture required or can I turn software capturing to capture my desktop ?

Here is test on default settings with 'very fast' cpu on game capture

Eh actually if you have "software capture" as an option you seriously need to update obs, thats long gone and split up now.
You can use monitor capture with aero OFF on win7 but it is still the worst and slowest method. Or window capture with aero ON which is already a lot better than monitor capture. Note that for both the game needs to be in some kind of window mode. If you are on win8 it doesnt matter, all capture methods are working great.

I can use game capture but when i'm out of game, stream is black ;x

If you tab out its not getting rendered anymore unless you play in (borderless) windowed mode.

i am playing league of legends, which has menu and game window. I both added to sources but still before or after game menu isnt on stream

For LoL, you should make 2 scenes: one with a Window capture of the PVP.net client, and one with a Game capture of the actual game. Then use the Simple Scene Switcher to automatically switch between the two. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1785

ok, thanks

Does stream need some more changes at encoding?

 

[dodgepong]

You never posted a log so it's hard to say. Can you do that? http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97
