So I'm looking for some help with my streams...

I stream at 720p when I stream fallout 4... but when i go back and look at the video it looks horrible compared to a recorded video. Looks more like 360p.

Is this normal and if I want it better I gotta get better Internet for 1080p? Is it caused by xsplit? Are my settings wrong still?

I'm pretty sure I already increased my bitrate... but I'd love to hear what numbers work for you guys...

If you want to see what quality I get with 720p just watch one of my fallout streams... looks like crap...

8MB Download, 4MBps Upload

so it kinda varies

Do you stream all the time. That could contribute to it. When I had sky I used to stream I only had 2/3 up and quality of mine messed up bad

I changed my bitrate again... to 2500kbps and ran a short test the resulting video was a bit better less pixilated...

I'm surprised I need such a high bitrate for 720p 30 fps... I'm at the upper limits for Internet speed at my house I think...

Theoretically I could go higher but my Internet would not be as stable at higher speeds...

Is there any benefit in trying different codecs? Or is the default one probably good?[DOUBLEPOST=1452790484][/DOUBLEPOST]

No I only stream a little... an hour or two once or twice a week when my kids are at school/preschool[DOUBLEPOST=1452790529][/DOUBLEPOST]
