How to use “Open Broadcaster Software” or HandBrake to minimize file size?

I have a question for anyone familiar with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS):



What settings should I select for "Recording" (not Steaming) to keep the file size at minimum?
I don't care about video quality, just that the video size be as small as possible. If you can be detailed (exact setting names or screenshot) that would be very helpful.



One recommendation I've come across is to use HandBrake software with the OBS video to reduce the size. Do you have the instructions or settings to do that? I've never used either software before.
