How can I change the video format to mp4 / mov ?

Remux using ffmpeg or some other such program.

 

[Cryonic]

Settings > Broadcast Settings > File Path > hit "Browse" > Select "save as type": MP4 File (.mp4)

That works for future recordings, your old files are not affected :-)

Not recommended to save directly to mp4 due to how unreliable the container format is.

Recording to MP4 is very strongly advised against. If OBS crashes, your recording is a pile of digital garbage if recording to MP4. And there's no way to recover it. Add on the 'fun' that often closing out an MP4 will make OBS more likely to crash, from my experience.

Record to FLV, and remux to MP4 if you need it later.

Here's how:
