Using a high compression ratio will effectively reduce the size of video files by compressing the data more efficiently. However, this may result in a loss of quality, so it is important to find a balance between file size and video quality. Choosing a high bitrate may actually result in larger file sizes, as it increases the amount of data being stored per second of video. Increasing the frame rate or size may also result in larger file sizes.
