When I record videos, they tend to take up TONS of space. When I record for about an hour, the video tends to take up about 20 gigs. When I finish recording, my computer can't even load the video and the video gets corrupted. Just recently when I tried to record like a 30 second clip, the video took up about 178 mb, which does NOT seem normal. Any leads for a possible fix?
Question / Help Video taking up WAYYY too much space than it should.

Okay, thanks! With that said, what is a good bitrate to use? Im currently only on a 2500 bitrate.

I record in lossless. About 20min eats up 60~70GB. I record in 2560x1440, 30fps. 20GB for an hour sounds fairly well compressed to me.

For recording, switch to simple output mode and in recording quality set an appropriate quality, such as high quality or indistinguishable quality. The better the quality, the larger the files. CBR with Bitrate 2500 is for streaming and results in small files but somewhat poor quality.
