What is Reddit's opinion of XSplit Gamecaster?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Bandicam is NOT for streaming. It was built to capture video locally. IF you wish to stream to youtube, you will need to use one of the following

OBS - https://obsproject.com/ (Free)

SLOBS - https://streamlabs.com/ (Free with premium features you can pay for. Does not affect use of product at all or cause watermarks)

Xsplit - https://www.xsplit.com/ - (pay monthly to yearly)

Shadowplay - (with Nvidia GPU's ONLY. Part of drivers) - free

Raptr - (AMD GPU's ONLY) Free

OBS and SLOBS are the most popular ones.

EDIT- side note that all these apps can also record locally as well on top of streaming.

Everything I'm seeing in regards to vCam is a software that allows you to stream whatever your current application is as if it were a webcam, and I'm seeing a few references to it being used as sort of a green screen software.

Is that something you ever do?

"XSplit VCam" is the full name apparently.

According to their support pages, it only does the watermark if you're rendering in 720p or higher. that'll be a way you could check real quick, try setting the game resolution to something lower than 720p and see if that watermark still shows up there. https://www.xsplit.com/support/broadcaster/faq/general/free-license

Your log looks fine as far as I can tell. Does your Radeon control panel have any settings where you can tell it to only use your cpu for obs? You may try that as well. Also try turning off windows game mode https://www.xsplit.com/support/useful-tools/windows-game-mode

For future media appearances, I would recommend keeping a recording using something like Goldwave (for audio) or Xsplit (for video) for your own records. This place seems chill but it'll come in handy when you're talking to a hostile outlet like CNN.

XSplit = OBS (kinda like Streamlabs OBS, just a reskin with tiny differences)

Might as well just use OBS itself, but there's little wrong with XSplit these days I guess?

Yeah, i just contacted xsplit support. It's a known issue. Here was the workaround I was given:

Good evening,

This is currently being looked into. A workaround, for now, is to use the Custom RTMP as Sofie suggested.

Set up a Custom RTMP broadcast output as shown here: https://www.xsplit.com/broadcaster/manual/broadcast/custom-rtmp

To get your Stream URL for RTMP URL server, check here: https://stream.twitch.tv/ingests/

(Select the server best for your region/location.)

Then use your Stream Key under Stream Name.

All in all it it worked for me.

A: make sure your Nvidia driver is installed. B: there will be a setting in bios that u need to set to disable.
https://www.xsplit.com/support/useful-tools/enabling-intel-graphics So what this link says but set to disable. Should force it to use the dedicated GPU. I've recently done this to enable my integrated as I needed to run an extra HDMI cord for second monitor as my GPU only had one taken up by the Vive .

Have you tried to use Linked Source on Xsplit?

Also, XSplit seems to support LGP natively. It might be able to use LGP without Stream Engine.

Some people may find this guide helpful for setting their Silence Detection.

Do you still have this problem? You might wanna create a crash dump file and share it here so we'll know what's causing Broadcaster to crash (https://www.xsplit.com/broadcaster/troubleshooting/crash-dump)

​

Yes, you can manually select the game that you want to be captured. Are you using XSplit Broadcaster or XSplti Gamecaster? Here is a quick guide: https://www.xsplit.com/broadcaster/manual/sources#game-capture

oh here this will help you out!

I use OBS to record my gameplay video at 1080p and Xsplit to record my face cam at 720p. then in my editing software Witch you can find here

Free Editing Software https://hitfilm.com/express

this software is almost the same as Adobe its not even funny :)

FOR YOUR SYNCING ISSUE one thing i learned is in most menus in games there is a button that you can click or you can use the arrow keys to move around in the menu. i use this to sync my videos together. on your face cam count out loud 1-2-1-2-1-2....1....2....1....2 wile you are saying this click a button or move your arrow keys in the game to the beat of your count this should make life alot easier for you to sync your videos! :) adobe is the best but its expensive over time hitfilm express is free. :)

yeah it seems like many musicians would lack nice computers, which would make entering the streaming world more difficult. but, depending on how bad you machine really is, a low-quality image stream isn't very taxing on the computer, and the streaming software themselves have a very small system demand. you might have better luck if you try streaming at a resolution from the 90s...
