Yo guys, my name is GL Lynx and I stumbled on OBS.

This fred is more about asking you about your experiences with OBS and acquiring that experience for me.
I just tried new settings I found on this page and tested them on the game Devil May Cry 4. Its settings:

Resolution: 1440x900
MSAA: 8x
Textures: Ultra
Shadow: Ultra

My PC:

Windows 7 Pro 64Bit
AMD FX 8350 Eightcore
AMD R9 Radeon 280x
16 GB Ram
256 GB SSD
1 TB HDD

My 'problem':
The bitrate on this video is crazy, like really really crazy
.

Here are my the options that I use:
OBS 1.PNGOBS2.PNG OBS3.PNG OBS4.PNG OBS5.PNG OBS6.PNG

The quality is something that I want to keep if possible (unlikely), but not the size of the video (3 GB for a 5min video?)
So, how would you achieve something like that?

Here's the link to the video on Youtube for more info (if you need it, the video should be up in a few hours):

The settings you are using are for near-flawless quality (you are allowing the encoder to take as much bitrate as needed), plus you are recording a really, really, really motion-intensive game which is, to make it worse, very very red-ish, which both is a nightmare for video encoding.

So the best bet you have for best quality is to take it like that, then make your video cuts and then encode it down for youtube, etc and delete your source videos.

Wow, I didn't expect the replies to be so fast. Well, I have a little Lets Play Channel on Youtube, thats all.
I guess then thats it already. I thought this would be happening on every video that I would do in the future.

Thanks for your help and thank you for the insight of the reasons why this happened.
