World of Tanks replay conversion help

I'm stupid when it comes to guessing at how to use OBS. I would like to convert a World of Tanks replay file to something that I can share with my clan friends on U-tube. I don't want bells, whistles, voice overs, fade-ins fade-outs or Johnny Carson jokes spliced in. I just want to be able to load the darned replay in one end of OBS and get a U-Tube loadable file out the other end. Where can I go to find out how to do THAT. All of the videos I've seen add in 10,000 options. If there are easier programs to use then please give me it's name and I'll go away. Thanks.
 
According to the WoT help https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wot/article/19157/ it is quite easy. You record the replay just as you will directly record your gameplay.
You have a *.wotreplay file that contains your recorded gameplay.
That WoT article describes how you directly start the WoT game client to replay this file in steps 2 to 6. These steps start the WoT client with the *.wotreplay as command line option, and I assume the replay will start immediately.

This replay can be captured by OBS just as you would capture your gameplay in the first place if you record WoT directly. For this, add a game capture source and configure it to capture WoT. You need to be in the actual game client (or the replay actively playing) to be able to point the capture source to the WorldOfTanks.exe file. Don't capture the lobby/launcher, it's a different exe.
 
I know how to replay my WoT replay. What I don't understand how to do is tell OBS where to go to "capture" the replay.
 
Just set up OBS for screen recording and record your screen while running the replay. But the settings to use are more complex and depend on your computer
