The included software makes it easy to capture every move you make, even if you forget to press the record button: The unique Flashback Recording feature lets you timeshift your gameplay, so that you can simply slide back in time on your Mac or PC and hit the record button retroactively. Elgato Game Capture HD doesn’t need a lot of cables or even a power supply to record your game: With direct Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 input, you can use a single cable to connect it to your console.

Refer to this thread if you are getting 'Warning, taking to long to encode' messages, or this thread if your bit rate indicator is turning yellow or red. Note: Most of the settings like FPS, resolution and X264 preset can be changed and based on your computer, you will most likely need to change them.
Once you have streamed for a bit, you can change these settings., however, set the 'Keyframe interval' to 2. In the Advanced tab, leave most of the options the same.Do some test streams to figure it out the best you can. You may need to adjust by +50 or -50ms, or even more. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 has a delay of around 650ms. 1400ms is a good place to start, but I recommend testing to get more accurate. In the Audio tab, set the last option 'Mic time offset' to 1400ms.In Audio, select the speaker(Headphones) and microphone you will be using.
I personally recommend downscaling 1080p to 720p for increased quality and also its easier on your computer. In the video settings, where it says 'Base resolution' set it to whatever the console resolution is set to(This will most likely be 1080p).In the broadcast tab, For mode, choose 'live stream'.You will need to do some tuning on your own. Please remember all systems and setups are different and the estimator is only that, to estimate. The settings you see are a baseline, but I recommend using the OBS Estimator, and then fine tuning your stream settings from that point on. Name it whatever you would like, then click 'add'.
