My stream has been lagging and I lowered the bitrate like they told me and it still not working!! help!!
I'm not sure how much I can help with this issue cause no matter what I do my encoder lags when I try to use it, but I'll give some general advice for lowering CPU usage. In your task manager you can go to processes and shut down some of the stuff that you're not using. (Be very careful that you know what you're shutting down though cause some of it is needed to run right.) Like if you use Firefox like I do, but for some reason IE always runs in the background anyway, you can shutdown that process. My computer came with Google Desktop, you can shut that down, etc.
Luckily anything you might screw up in this section can be fixed by restarting the computer unlike when you start messing with the registry. I won't even touch that, I make my brother do it. Of course he's an IT guy and I won't let him near my computer now that I'm camming, haha, that would just be awkward!
I tried all kinds of tweaks that never made much difference so I finally gave in and bought a newer more powerful computer with 9 megs of ram and an i7 processor. Nothing else I tried worked. It just takes a ton of power and memory. I also upgraded my net to faster upload.
