i got an i5 2500k with gtx 275 and a spare rig with a q6600 and xsplit. At the moment, i'm using ffsplit to output to a flv file for xsplit to stream. tf2 fps is around 160 to 300. but i still feel input lag at times and fps dips, as hooky described.

Forgot about this thread. Going to post my latest post about streaming in here

[quote]When I stream, I have a really unstable ping, often between 70 and 300ms. I use ffsplit, and my settings are:

Video Bit Rate: 768 kbps
Video Encode Preset: Default
Resolution: 576x360
Frame Rate: 30fps
Audio Bit Rate: 128 kbps
Audio Channels: Stereo

I have 12 Mbps download, 1.5 upload. I only have TF2, Mumble, ffsplit, IRC, and Chrome open while streaming. Am I doing something wrong or is it my internet?[/quote]
