File size shows incredibly low but is much bigger

[Iskaka]

So Im recording in 1080p 60fps and I get this issue where the file size displays as much less than it is, I recorded a 2hr video that made 200gb of my Storage become used, Fair enough I thought though where the file was stored it sayd it was 12 gigs or so, When I deleted it only those 12 gigs disappeared, This happenes with all my videos where file size is weirdly small but in reality big. I have been unable to locate the nearly 200G file missing to this point and this goes for the rest of them

That above is NOT what should be normal file size im pretty darn sure for 1080p 60fps
Anyone that has any knowledge of what this mighe be? Restarting, Reinstalling, Reselecting destination, Tweaking settings. Nothing has worked

1. Run OBS as admin. Right-click on short cut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok
2. Record to MKV or FLV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.

If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window or enable Auto remux in the advanced settings. See if this makes a difference.

2 Things
If you have the Explorer open on the location where the file is writing. Windows sometimes Miss to refresh the display if it change to often in to short terms like live write.
So try to refresh the display with F5 , 20 Seconds after stop recording, at recording the display size will mostly not change

Another part is your "write" location
Writing file 'C:/Users/Magnu/Videos/Captures/2020-11-30 15-01-48.mp4'...
This location is Overwatched by Windows "Backup" Service "File Version"
It creates "Backups" of the file on changes made, related to the settings you have a 1GB file that use 21GB of 20 Shadow copys in backup (20 changes)

I think without more information that the chance is High that you have this 2 "issues"

The Windows internal file backup is is called "File History" in english - I suppose you translated some non-english Windows text. In german it's "Dateiversionsverlauf", other languages I cannot tell. There is some truth in what you write about it, but it's not creating a copy that often. The default is once per hour, and as far as I know, it doesn't backup open files like video recordings that are being written to the moment a backup is created.
