Hi!

Is there some way to encode stream with some capture card like xsplit program.

This is the wrong place to ask this question.

Having said that, yes, it is possible, assuming you're not talking about the Live Gamer Portable. You add the device as a Video Capture device.

better to use quicksync honestly, less cost, better encoding, higher quality

Oh, my mistake, I though you were trying to capture, not encode. I misread your OP.

OBS doesn't support using the encoder on the Live Gamer HD, and frankly, you don't want to use it...it's really really really bad.

You don't want to encode with AVerMedia. You really don't.

Xsplit supports it, if you want to go that direction. But it's really not worth it at all. Use the card as a capture card, and not as an encoder, which OBS supports just fine.

But My Cpu is 80% when I stream, I thought Avermedia would have helped with that problem :(

But at the cost of making the resulting video look like utter garbage? You should be able to reduce CPU usage on normal x264. If you post your log, maybe we can give you a hand.
