Hi, I've been trying to get my stream to be as smooth as possible. I'm afraid I only found an alright spot right now, so I wanted to post my log so you guys can take a look at it.

I have
3rd gen i5 processor
16gb ram
gforce gtx 560ti video card
.90mbps upload speed
1280x1024 resolution
windows 7
3.4 ghz

Here is my log

I have changed this, and i am still dropping 28% of frames. Can anybody please identify what is causing this? Would greatly appreciate it.

Dropped frames are caused by data not being able to be sent to the stream server fast enough. Lower your bitrate or change servers.

Well, your upload speed estimate is accurate, and you're not being throttled, so that's good.

The two best ways to fix this problem are either changing servers (even to one that is not as close sometimes helps) and lowering your bit rate. Make sure there isn't anything else running that is taking up your bandwidth, too (Skype video calls, Netflix, torrenting, etc.). Other than that, there's not much to do. It's simply a matter of making sure your connection to the server can handle the amount of data you are trying to upload at an acceptable rate.
