OBS recording settings help please

Hello, I was recommended to come here and ask, but was not exactly sure where to ask. I am streaming on Twitch, and would like to record my streams. Currently, I had some recording settings, but it would average about 1.5 GB per 5 minutes or so, and quality was noticeably degraded, but not terrible. It was suggested to me to just use Simple mode, and indistinguishable mode. The quality is better, but now I am getting about 6-7 GB for about 11 minutes. If I stream for four hours per stream or so, that seems like a lot of space. I can show current settings, or whatever is needed, but I'd like help determining the best settings to use please, for good quality, and decent file size.

Thanks
