Hi, i have a question!

It's gone. You cannot save data without having space for the data. If the luggage compartment of your car is full, you cannot add another suitcase either.
Unfortunately, OBS doesn't check if the disk gets full, so you have to make sure you have enough space available.
But I would not run my computer at the edge of being full - today, storage space is so cheap, it's a bad idea to not buy this little convenience and get some multi-TB sized disk that never gets full. And it's not a good idea to buy a computer with only 1 TB disk space in the first place if you have video recording in mind.

Hello,
As I read you want to know when you out of space than where your data goes.
So I say to you when you space out you recording not save in the form of data. Actually its an issue with OBS It doesn't check data.
That how much space do you have.
So I must say to you if you recorded too much you also need a hard disk to store, so buy a good harddisk to store it.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
