Recording File TOO large

[JinMori04]

I am recording PS5 through ASUS CU4K30 Capture Card and I am getting really large file sizes, 2.5gb for a 3min vid.

Resolution is 2560x1440p at 60fps in the capture card, using a Samsung G7 32inch monitor

Recording Output set to CQP 14.

Files are just too large to load to YouTube. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

CQP = 14 will produce large file sizes.

If you want smaller file sizes with CQP, then you need to lower the quality setting. A higher number will result in lower quality and a smaller file size. Alternatively if you need more precision over file size then consider using CBR, for example 50000 kbps = 6.10 MB/s. Therefore 10 seconds = a 61 MB file size...

I would recommend trying 21 - 23 as your CQP value, see if the quality/file size ratio is acceptable. If not play around.

21-23 seemed to work without losing quality greatly. My file sizes were absurdly large. 5min could get between 6-10gb depending on game recording.

Unless you're using several audio sources and need to keep them separated, go for Simple Output mode and select the Recording Quality that suits your needs. make sure to use MKV format.

In the case you need to use the advanced mode for any reason, make sure you set keyframe interval to 0 and Max b frames to 4
