Flashy/glitchy Video

[Mosman1987us]

Hello, im trying to broadcast me playing combat arms, but on the receiving end of the transmit (the channel) it often flashes the image or has a lag spike and jumps ahead of where its at. I have Comcast Cable internet which is one of the better type of internet...what's the reason my video doesn't come out good?

Thanks for replying saff but im streaming games that are on the pc...with no extra tv or nothing, and im using FME broadcaster with VHScrCap as the camera..but it still is laggy/glitchy to people viewing it.

Have you thought about using a capture card to capture your PC screen? It is less resource intensive and FPS is usually better.

Check your FPS rates on cap and on FME and see if their at odds with one and another, had this same issue awhile back when i was first starting up. Also check your kbps rate on FME and see if it's too low a bitrate, best recommendation is roughly 450-500kbps total rate (including the audio stream) Don't use the higher bandwidth audio selections in FME as this can cause lagging issues to. If your streaming an online playable game, you'll need to use a lower rate anyway because your also transmitting to the game server and networked games usually take up more bandwidth overall then offline games.
