I tried Open Broadcaster Software today since FFSplit has been messing up a lot lately, and I think I'm going to keep using it. After a quick looking over of the archive, the stream looked much better than what I was getting with FFSplit using similar settings.

I streamed last nite for shitz and giggles and also was the first time steaming using StreamEez and the Gaming computer.

Well my stream look monumentally better. I was shocked.

Quick Clip...(looks like youtube kinda muddled it up a bit)

It actually looks better on the twitch archive.

I'm gonna do some more tweaking to my settings. Any help is appreciated.

New Forza 4 Race Series...Streaming tonite

80's & 90's Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) Series

Infineon Nascar Circuit

9:00 PM EST - 7-lap Practice Stint - If you'd like to do this show up promptly, I will be starting it on time for obvious reasons and assume anyone not there prefers not to run some practice laps. This will be a random grid.

9:20 PM EST - 3-lap Qualifying - (2 flying laps) - Please be here 5 minutes in advance if you want to run. At 9:15 we will assume everybody that wants to run is in the lobby, and wait a few minutes for stragglers but will not be waiting for stragglers at the 9:20 mark or further. Anyone in after that will go to the back of the grid without a chance at qualifying points. One point will be awarded to the Top 6 qualifiers. Note that sandbagging is considered similar to fixing a game and is punishable by series expulsion.

9:30 PM EST - Race 1 - 34 Laps - Pit Window Laps 16 through 18 - Order of Grid is Reverse Qualifying Order

Approx. 10:15 PM EST - Race 2 - 11 Laps - Order of Grid is Combined Lobby Points (Qually and Race 1)

Does twitch also record video?

Does twitch also record video?

It records an archive of whatever you stream, but unless you save it yourself, it'll be automatically deleted after a week or so. You can also download the archives in .flv files with a site like twitchtools.com

PS. (and yes this is the wrong forum) but what can someone use to record video straight from their tv...

You would need a capture card or PVR and recording software like dxtory or fraps to record directly on your PC. I don't know much about any of those since I only stream directly from my PC. JMS, Donny, or Knubb could explain more about those.

If you want to stream, you'd also need a program like Open Broadcaster Software or XSplit and a decent internet connection.

PSA for you streamers: Twitch will be implementing minimum broadcast requirements soon. Make sure your settings meet the requirements.

http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/08/new-minimum-broadcasting-requirements-coming-soon/

Here at Twitch, we’ve experienced a massive surge in demand for viewing on non-web devices; such as game consoles, tablets, and mobile phones. We want your viewers to be able to watch in all these places, so we’re making changes to our infrastructure to service this growth.

Moving into the future, we will require the following settings:

Video Requirements

• Codec: H.264 (x264)
• Mode: Strict CBR
• Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds

Audio Requirements

• Codec: AAC-LC or MP3, Stereo or Mono
• Maximum bit rate: 160 kbps (AAC), 128 kbps (MP3)
• Sampling frequency: any (AAC), 44.1 KHz (MP3)

These configurations are already supported and are active by default in the latest versions of our most popular broadcast software options.

To help you determine whether your stream settings are compatible, we’ve added a new ingest feedback feature on your Broadcast Dashboard.
