    Default Encoder/Widescreen Help

    I've been using the search function like a mad woman and still can't really find an answer to my question so I figured I'd start a new thread. Hope y'all don't mind. And if this has been covered somewhere else, just point me in that direction.

    I just came back to SM after a long hiatus (>1year) and I'm having so many problems with this damn encoder and the new widescreen settings.

    I did a test run, using the medium settings and everything was fine. Then, when I went on last night, for some reason it wasn't picking up that I was broadcasting in HD and it looked like there were black bars on the bottom and top of my screen.

    I'm currently camming on an iMac desktop that's a couple years old (i3) and I run Windows in Bootcamp cuz I'm using a Logitech Pro9000. I'm thinking maybe if I change my cam so I can just cam from the Mac side this may help? But in the meantime, I think I may need to tweek my encoder settings.

    Right now, I'm more worried about keeping my HD icon up there then getting the widescreen to work though. I tried going back to the older settings but my HD icon is still nowhere to be found and it's kicking back to page 2 or 3.

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sorry to be impatient but I'm gonna bump my thread. I need to figure this out and SM support is no help.

    As I re-read my post, I guess I didn't really state a clear question. My main questions are:

    1. What settings can I use on the encoder that will still keep me in HD but not necessarily in widescreen? It's been so long since I've been on SM, I don't know what the settings were at before.

    2. How do I set up my Pro9000 to broadcast in widescreen?

    3. Any advice on a Mac-friendly webcam that doesn't suck or cost more than $70?

    Sorry if the pics weird I wanted it to be readable and i suck at posting pics
    This is what the settings were before the switch to widescreen I believe this is highest setting, (its what I was using and had the HD) I have an i5 now got it bout 2 months ago, but I used it on my old dual core too just took the framerate down a bit till the old computer could handle it.
    This is for the encoder for windows the 3.1encoder and the windows settings for it. Since you said you run the bootcamp thing I assume you use the windows version of stuff. I dont know bout the other questions tho sorry.
    Forgot to add You have to click the little wrench next to Format H.264, a little box pops up Profile is set to baseline, Level is 3.0, and keyframe frequency is 1 second.

    SM highly suggest Logitech
    the c920 is now 79.99 everywhere but it doesn't come w software, but there is something to download.. I hear mac girls chatting abt it
    also the c930 e is out w/ mac software but it is over 100.00

    I only have the settings for windows.

    Welcome back <3 <3

    I use the Logitech 9000 and I thought I couldn't use it for widescreen, but I guess all you have to do is open up the Logitech software and switch it from standard to widescreen there (thanks Candyjamyes, lol). I have yet to broadcast in widescreen but I'm gonna try it this afternoon.
