procaster lags in screen mode

[banonas]

Hi,

I just downloaded procaster in the hopes of broadcasting my desktop while drawing in programs like photoshop. It runs fine when it is on webcam mode, but when I switch to screen, everything lags, even if I don't have any programs open (my mouse jitters across the screen etc.)

I'm running windows xp, and my upload bitrate seems to be around 700kbps on a wireless connection.

banonas,

Procaster is a CPU-intensive program. Have you monitored your CPU usage while streaming Photoshop? If not, I recommend you do so via Task Manager (right click the toolbar at the bottom of your screen).

Also, I'd recommend streaming from a wired connection if possible to increase your available bandwidth.

Best,
Jason
