Streamers and content creators know the pain — recording settings optimized for quality produce massive files:
- Lossless or high-CRF OBS recordings: 20-50 GB per hour
- Stream VOD archives accumulate hundreds of gigabytes per month
- Keeping highlights and raw footage means constant drive management
Video Recompress Studio compresses your OBS recordings after the stream, preserving quality while shrinking files 50-80%.
How It Works with OBS
Designed to fit into your streaming workflow:
- Point to your OBS output folder — drag your recordings directory
- Pick a preset — 'YouTube Raw' for upload-ready files or 'Max Savings' for archive
- Batch compress overnight — GPU-accelerated encoding processes your backlog while you sleep
- MKV and MP4 support — handles OBS's native MKV recordings and remuxed MP4s
Typical OBS Recording Savings
Real compression results from common OBS recording settings:
| Recording Type | Original | Compressed | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-hour lossless recording | 25 GB | 5 GB | 80% |
| 1-hour high-bitrate (CRF 16) | 8 GB | 3 GB | 63% |
| 4-hour stream VOD | 4 GB | 1.5 GB | 63% |
| 30 days of daily streams | 500 GB | 175 GB | 65% |
Results using H.265, CRF 23. Lossless sources compress the most. Already-optimized recordings see smaller gains.
Fits Your Streaming Workflow
Compress after streaming — no impact on live performance:
- Record at max quality — keep your OBS settings lossless or high-bitrate for editing
- Compress after editing — batch compress final exports and raw recordings
- CLI automation — schedule compression jobs via command line for hands-free workflow
