How can I tell when OBS is finished writing to a file?

I have a script which copies over a file once the recording is complete. However, I don't want to copy over unfinished files but I can't tell the difference between a file whose recording is finished, and one that is still in the process of being recorded.

They're both being stored as .mp4 and have the same naming convention. Is there a way I can get OBS to use a different output directory or naming for files that are still being written to?
 
There is not. And you should NEVER record directly to MP4. It is NOT a recording-safe format. Why it pops up a warning whenever it's selected.
