Ever wonder what I do behind the scenes when I stream at Twitch? This video explains almost everything. For the most part, I need 4 programs. The first is a screen capture source. I can't use my TV tuner's software as it uses overlay (preventing screen capture, a requirement). XSplit was used for quite some time, but the forced updates and severe instability with my TV tuner meant that XSplit had to go in the trash. It wasn't good for anything outside screen capture. Thanks to one of my fans, AmaRecTV was suggested and it proved dependable. When I start it up, I do need to set the processing priority to "high" so the video is much more stable from slightly improving the timing. Other software I tried before always had a problem present preventing me from using it: the video wasn't stable, the audio wasn't in sync with the video or nonexistent, my TV tuner wasn't supported, or XP wasn't supported. If it wasn't one, it was another. The second program is Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. This is used for the actual streaming itself. Never use more than 90% of your available upload bandwidth. I have 832 Kbps upload so I shouldn't exceed about 750 Kbps for both video and audio combined. I'm using 704 Kbps total with 672 Kbps for the video and 32 Kbps for the audio. The video is true size and cropped to get rid of the black borders around the screen. 15 fps is used only to improve the poor video quality. However, there's a problem: FMLE doesn't support screen capture. FMLE doesn ...
