File size is always larger than source

[Veldryn]

Greetings,

Why is it, no matter what settings I choose, If I render a video file, the output is ALWAYS a larger file size than the source file? Even if  minimally touched.
Heck even if I trim it to make it shorter, it's still larger.
Here is the AME settings to a project where all I did was put a white box over 4 sec of text. And the final file is almost twice as big and of much crappier quality at these settings

There is only one solution to this and it is to ditch Media Converter and download the free software HandBrake.

Adobe really dropped the ball on this one.
