About safety writing VDO file after finish recording

[cattypkung]

I had use the OBS as a VDO recorder for HD 1080p with 60FPS

the problem that I found is about writing VDO file after finish recording.

Sometime I accidentally close the OBS after I'm done recording the VDO

Even I got a warning message said that
"the file is under writing. Do you want to wait for 15 second before closing the program?"

Even I choose "Yes" wait for 15 second. I'm still got a corrupt file (because it is not finish writing file within 15 second)

Or choose "No" not wait and I get a corrupt file imediately.

So, I need something like a process bar or status bar to tell users that the OBS is writing the VDO file.

or simply set make the OBS unable to able to close for a while to let it write the VDO file.

Using the FLV container format should avoid this issue.

Thank you for answering, I see that is about container issue.

Then, Can OBS save VDO file in MP4 container?

Yes, and MP4 is the container format susceptible to the problem you described in your original post. That's why you should use FLV instead.
