Marvin 1296 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm looking into starting to stream stuff on Twitch.tv. Right now I'm trying to find decent streaming software that is somewhat easy to use. I've looked at XSplit so far, and I like what I see. The personal use license is $40 a year, which isn't that bad. Does anyone have suggestions for other/better/cheaper streaming software?

Knox 1470 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) OBS with dxtory http://obsproject.com/ http://exkode.com/dxtory-features-en.html quickedit: if you need help setting it up I should be able to, it's not that hard but just in case Edited June 4, 2013 by Knox 1 Marvin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 1296 Posted June 4, 2013 If anything, I would need some images for my channel. A background, header image and one for while my stream is offline. I don't want to use anything that is copyrighted without the owners consent. I'm working on getting permission for music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pancake Man 507 Posted June 4, 2013 If OBS doesn't work for you there's another free option called FFsplit (http://www.ffsplit.com/). I don't know how it works, but it seems pretty decent to me. Just givin' ya options here. 1 Marvin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knox 1470 Posted June 4, 2013 FFsplit is mediocre at best, it has potential though 1 Marvin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 1296 Posted June 4, 2013 I'll go with OBS, thank you guys! I sent Twitch an email about having my account converted from Justin back to Twitch, so once that's done I'll start streaming. BTW I'm going to be promoting the hell out of Syndicate Gamers. 1 fps_trucka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oreo 2073 Posted June 4, 2013 Have the banner include nice peaceful canadians everywhere and play with a cozy fireplace in the background. Oh, and maple syrup, lots of maple syrup and maple leafs. 1 Marvin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avery 794 Posted June 4, 2013 I like xsplit, a lot of streamers I've seen use it. Links directly to site and whatnot, very useful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 1296 Posted June 4, 2013 I might move to a more professional one like xsplit later down the road if I need its features. For now I'd rather dick around and learn a free one first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xmen 983 Posted June 4, 2013 Dunno what's less professional with obs... But that's what I use Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 1296 Posted June 4, 2013 Just the features it has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
