I just joined and I have some questions. First off, if you read this know that I have Xsplit, Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition, LiveSplit, and OBS classic. Even though it doesn't show up on my page I do have a twitch account, I just didn't think it would be worth it for the time being to put it up since I've never even used it. Questions:

1. Do I need to stream my recordings on twitch or can I just record them and upload them to YouTube?
2. Is there anything else I should get? I mean, besides what I have shown above and the game of course.
3. What would be the reasons that a run I submit be rejected?
4. How do I record my game and LiveSplit together using OBS?

Any advice on this would be very appreciated. If I have anymore questions I will be sure to ask them. Thanks and good luck to all those that speedrun videogames.
