Hello
I'm wondering if anyone can help me sort this out.
I have tried to get to these settings below and which are marked in yellow but do not reach all the way. Are these possible? I like these settings and are taken from another group who are interested in recording from the screen.
Grateful if anyone could help me.

These settings are copied from MediaInfo, which displays the video properties of a given video.
Forget this. These settings are not suited to your PC, and these settings are not suited to the material you intend to record.
Instead, in OBS, do Tools->Auto Configuration Wizard. This will get you settings that work best for your PC.
 
Hi Gargamel,

no - unfortunately not. Whatever you excited on that specific video file, it can't just "replayed".

Let me explain: Given a nominal bandwidth, you can't enforce to reach for a specific bitrate like 2715 kbps (or any other given figure). Even if you invest time to replay exactly as possible such parameters for ffmpeg (what it would mean) you can't enforce target figures that by nature heavily depend on this specific video content (by any frame and each pixel of each frame!) which was encoded into that specific file. You have to understand how an encoder works. Especially due to the fact that these modern video codecs are not lossless encoders.

To give you another example: If you had all the counts and figures of new york stock exchange as of last friday, 4pm, you try something like "i look for someone i may give those figures to and he ensures that the complete stock exchange state could be replayed in reality on next friday again."

See how hopeless this is? The figures depend on too much circumstances you can't control.

If you want to reach for a specific target bitrate, you have to go for CBR (constant bit rate). So can reach for nearby your wished values. But beware: CBR is meant for streaming due to network restrictions and mean a tradeoff or compromise to the videos quality. That would be exactly the contrary of what you wished, isn't it?

Personally i think you were astonished by the quality of this specific video. But this specific ratio between quality and final size of a video is fixed to that specific video content.
