Expensive,

Procaster is very CPU intensive, thus if you are running a system that doesn't meet our minimum requirements you'd typically experience this behavior. If you could please let me know the following about your system I can attempt to assist your further:

CPU, RAM, Video Card
Operating system
Procaster version

Our system requirements can be found at the following section of our User Guide:

Thanks,

Expensive,

Unfortunately your system falls below our minimum recommended specs, which explains why you are experiencing issues streaming. If you'd like to stream with Procaster you'll need to upgrade your system. You can find our minimum specs here:

Another option you might want to consider is streaming with Flash Media Live Encoder and using Manycam to stream capture your desktop. For more info on FMLE visit the following section of our user guide:

if i would buy 1-2 more GB of ram do u think that will help and i'll be able to stream without breaking down?

[Auroran]

Ever since I uploaded the new, or latest Procaster I cannot get the live stream to work properly without using up over 80% of my CPU. The note says to reduce quality. I have changed every setting I can find -- nothing!
I have tried to get help from LiveStream support, but, no luck.
Anyone know about this?

Expensive,

You would need a computer with a more powerful CPU as outlined in the system requirements mbaron has linked to... i.e. a dual core CPU running at a minimum of 2.0Ghz. A quad core CPU is ideal.

Best,
Jason

Auroran,

I've merged your post with a similar thread. The issue could be that your system falls below Procaster's minimum system requirements. Please check, and let us know if you have any questions.

Expensive,

I recommend getting a new computer for streaming that falls within our recommended system specifications.
