I was recording some videos for a work and for the first half-hour video I recorded, I remember that when I clicked on "stop recording," OBS would not stop and I had to click it a few times till it did; also at one point I started streamin by mistake and I stopped it. When I also finished with the other I checked em all and that first one is corrupted it seems. It appears in my folder with the other recordings with the normal naming convention but this one appears as an empty video that only sizes 1 kb. It seems I have just lost that first half hour; it's very frustrating. I dont understand why that happend there but not with the other recordings I did later that were as or longer. How can I avoid this from happening again in the future?
I know I should not have been recording in mp4 but is that usually I stream and don't bother with the recordings, my bad.
