So I got in the habit of having OBS save my streams to the hard drive, however, once in awhile, a video file messes up. It shows the bytes of the file, and all that, but theres no length, and if I try to play the file, it locks up the video player. Anyway to fix these files? They have important footage I must save.
Bug Report After Stream, saved video files are being corrupted?
- Thread starter gamerprox
- Start date
Saving as MP4, CFR is enabled, Any player wont play them, PotPlayer, Windows Media Player, and VLC and so on.
Heres a small video, 16mb with the issue. http://www.mediafire.com/download/fxgt9tcj80f9ry0/Live_Stream_(05).mp4

Did OBS crash while generating this video?
Personally I recommend saving files as FLV and then converting to MP4 afterwards with this method to avoid corruption from OBS crashing.

I actually had this problem as well. Weird thing is that the videos worked fine for me the first time viewing. Checked back later and they were all corrupted and wouldn't load.
Hi!
I've had this problem on two different files on two different setups/computers as well.
The settings was set to CBR, 2.5mbit, mp4 and the files are around 5 and 8 GB.
Neither of the times OBS crashed or seamed to have any issues at all until I tried to view the files afterwards.
The message log in VLC says there are 20+ parallel video streams in the file - and then it locks up...
Would also love to find out if someone have managed to recover any of the material and in that case how..
Best Regards
