How to: Fix MP4/MOV files corrupting when OBS Studio crashes - insert something funny here

If you're reading this, you're probably either using MKV and got tired of waiting for remuxes, or already lost a recording or two. I accientally found a fix for this, so I'm sharing it here.

In Settings>Output, paste the following line into "Custom Muxer Settings":
movflags=frag_keyframe+empty_moov

If you need pictures, I have them:

Now you can select MP4 or MOV and not worry about losing recordings if OBS Studio crashes while recording...

I think, the empty_moov is not needed - anyway you writing fragmented file. This key is for different purposes.
And not a "fix" but "prevent" complete corruption (or lost of the recording). Files are damaged in both cases.
