Export to mp4 strategy

[martyouel]

Hi folk,

need help to find the right settings for my needs.

I have an unlimited google drive storage, so I am using it to backup all my security stuff coming from my cams.

Each 15 minutes I copy new stuff from my BlueIris server to my google drive.

My question is around what I do for the video.
I want to keep the .bvr video locally for 3 days, but what I want to export to gdrive is a mp4 (because google drive player allows me to view the video online once uploaded).
So I configured an export on the move from New folder to Stored. With this way I have my .bvr and I also get my .mp4 that I upload to gdrive.
My concern is the size of the mp4. I do continuous recording on my main camera and for a complete day I get 20gig video files.

In comparision the same file is 3.9 gig in .bvr and 10.5 gig in .mp4.

It is my settings for the export :



I'm not sure what I should tweak to get smaller size mp4 and keep some quality.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks

Turn off the Re-encode option. Then the file size should be almost the same, and the video quality should be exactly the same. And it will export a lot faster and more efficiently.
