Hi guys
I am on OBS 30.2.0 on M3 Macbook Pro Max with 64GB RAM. What CBR bit rate should I use for the BEST HD recording quality. At the moment I am using 30K..is it enough? Thanks

CBR is something used, typically for livestreaming, due to requirements of free, consumer content delivery networks (CDNs, ex YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc)
VBR, CPQ, or similar are more often used for Recording as less bitrate used when not required and more with movement, etc.

Define "best"? True "Best" would be lossless, but your computer (and most others) can't handle the associated bitrate... so, there is only 'best' for your specific requirements, as different scenarios will yield different answers

And bitrate only 1 of the factors, the encoder, color depth, etc all play a role in perceived video quality... and depends on the content nature
