Hello, I would like to seek help for a problem I am encountering from recording minecraft gameplay footage using OBS. I have used the OBS Log Analyzer and eliminated the problems. I am left with the "excessive" bitrate" problem. I have not fixed this as I do not know how much bitrate I should input. I am recording 768p resolution videos and my current bitrate is at 8000 kb/s. BTW (I would like to thank developers of OBS for creating a free and well made software for upcoming content creators :) )

Twitch wants bitrate at 3500 Kbps or less.

The old OBS can only use 1 encoder setting at a time. You may try using OBS multiplatform (obs studio) which support separate record encoder at high bitrate or high quality setting.

Ignore and don't use OBS Log Analyzer if only recording, as Log Analyzer can't tell if streaming or recording. High bitrate will cause problems only if streaming, but if not streaming and only recording, high bitrate is ok.
