    There's something important I feel the need to point out. Should be upscaling your recordings to 1440p (2560×1440) or higher if you want good quality on uploaded video. Resolutions of 1080p or lower get assigned the AVC1 codec, which prioritizes speed over quality and causes poor quality with pixelation. Resolutions above 1080p get assigned the VP9 codec, which prioritizes quality over speed and doesn't have those issues. Doesn't matter if recording at 1440p or decide to upscale the resolution after you stop recording. Can record in 1080p and set output resolution to 1440p. The video you plan to upload must be of that or higher quality to get assigned the VP9 codec and not suffer quality loss. Channels with a lot of viewers, subscribers or popular content get the benefit of using VP9, even if the video resolution is lower than 1440p. Can upload a 1080p recording and will get assigned the VP9 codec.

    Also KZread delivers content in 1440p in a much higher bitrate than 1080p in general. Doing a test with yt-dlp's -F function on one of my videos, the 1440p format has about 3x the bitrate over the 1080p format despite only having about 1.8x the pixels. This is also why you should watch videos in 1440p or better if applicable, even if you don't have a 1440p screen

    One of the best explaination video out there: one of the specific part you could have maybe included is adding the description of how to separate audio which u decided to leave out but would have taken 10 seconds more, and good thing u have explained by mentioning it quickly still that if one records from a different source has to set that in a specific place and there is nothing to think about more. Thanks a lot.

    I did some testing on my own. For NVIDIA H.264 NVENC recordings CQ level 15 was the most efficient - there was a noticeable file size difference at 14, 15, and 16. I had to get up to 20 for the file size to be similar. In other words, CQ of 15 and 20 have similar file sizes. It is entirely possible it was something about my setup. I didn't see a similar effect using HVEC or AV1 - those has the expected file size increases with lower CQ levels. BTW, NVIDIA recommends CQ 15 on their OBS guide.
