heres that tutorial i promised like a month ago. 
the problem i was having is that the default bitrate for OBS is obscene. 1000000? really? 

also im going to finish the series out as webm's for consistancy's sake, but when i start back at one to upload them as a full file, im changing over to mp4s because there isnt a media player on android that can play webms worth a damn, and mp4 only marginally increases the file size, if at all.
