I record gameplay for my youtube channel. I have kept the bitrate at 40,000 and CBR , so i know the file size will be big. But 9 gb for 30 minutes of gameplay????

I am having problem uploading on youtube because youtube degradest the video quality because the file size is huge.

Isn't there any way by which i can upload high quality gameplay HD , without huge file size and without youtube decompressing my video and making it look bad?

P.S.- I have tried handbrake but honestly i upload 3 hours or 4 hours video walkthrough gameplay videos which handbrake takes nearly 15 hours to reduce file size ,
so i can't try that .

CPU- intel G4560 3.0Ghz
GPU- GTX 1050 Ti
Ram - 8 GB DDR4
HDD-1 TB
Power- Corsair 450 Watt.

No, there isn't any way. High quality gameplay needs huge file size. The better the quality, the larger the filesize requirement. Youtube doesn't reduce quality because of an upload being huge, it reduces quality generally to shrink and normalize the stored videos instead.

The quality Youtube normalizes video to is fixed and the same for every video. If you shrink your video with Handbrake with the best quality, it will still look the same after Youtube recompresses it as with a huge upload. So it doesn't matter how you preprocess your video.

What matters most is the resolution of uploaded material. It should match exactly one of resolutions Youtube will create for every video: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6375112 Resolutions in between are rescaled to one of these, so the quality will suffer not only because of recompression but also from rescaling.
