Bug Report File Output Loses Audio on Longer Streams

[ShishKebab]

I've been using OBS to output an MP4 only, and I've had an intermittent issue of some of my files not saving their audio. I've messed around with the settings and troubleshooted in order to narrow it down to being related to the length of the MP4, I think. It seems like if the stream gets to be over twenty or so minutes, the file that saves will have no audio. Anyone know what gives?

Are you playing the file with VLC? Apparently there's a problem where VLC can't read really big MP4 files at the moment, but I haven't had time to really fully investigate

No, I'm using Windows Media Player (version 12.0.7601.17514). Windows 7 default.

Maybe it is something with the 64bit version of the file, I'll have to check it out

Sorry I never followed up on this, but I narrowed the problem a bit. The issue is definitely not with OBS, but with the playback. I took the files who's audio didn't play back and tried playing them in VLC in Linux, and they work just fine, so the problem must be with Windows Media Player, or with Windows 7 itself since you mentioned even VLC had issues with large MP4s, but VLC in Linux worked like a charm for me.
