Question / Help It'll record fine for a few times and then they'll all keep corrupting

[Dragonofdawn]

Here is my log. I originally uninstalled and reinstalled like another thread suggested and it worked for a bit but then it started corrupting the video files after again.

Don't record directly to mp4. Use mkv or flv instead. mp4 requires very specific metadata to be written at the close of the file, so if anything happens that interrupts a clean ending, then you'll end up with a corrupted file.

If you need mp4 for editing purposes, you can use the remux feature under the File menu after the recording is done. It's just a container swap, no re-encoding is done there.

Okay I got the flv to work but the image is pretty blocky?

Any way to fix this? It was perfect fine in mp4

How it "corrupted", your files?

75000 Kbps will still look like crap at Ultra Fast, use CRF 20 or stick to simple mode

It won’t let me play the files and it tells me that I probably can’t play this type of file or it may be corrupted when I try to click it.

Is your recording was spontaneously interrupted? Is the crash-reports folder of the OBS Studio is empty?
