Question / Help NVENC 4gig File Limit?

Hi,

I've been using Obs for a couple of weeks, it's worked brilliantly and had almost no trouble with learning how to use it or recording gameplay with it. Good job guys.

However I've been playing around with NVENC for recording, less lag, quality similar, seems like the best choice when it comes to recording for me.

But I've hit an issue, which seems too... specific to be random.

Every single file I record which hits a size of 4,192,000 KB (give or take 10,000 KB) ends recording regardless of if I've finished or not. I've got plenty of room on my drive (easily another 300gigs spare) but I have 5 files now, 3 done while general recording and 2 tests, where my recording will end after the file size hits just over 4.2gigs.

This means I lose sections of video which is frustrating but I don't mind working around the issue. Is this just an inbuilt thing that I can do nothing about or is this something to do with my set up? I've searched for people hitting similar problems and not come up with anything but I might be using the wrong terminology.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Ah, no you are absolutely and utterly correct. I had been checking my main drive, but my recordings had been going to another, external drive, which is indeed FAT32. (i'm fairly... 70%... sure I did not set it up to record to there but I have been drinking a lot of Gin lately)

Thank you ever so much for your assistance, please excuse me now I must go and have a little existential crisis in a dark room.
