OBS corrupting MKV files

[PoisonRose]

Hey!

As the title says, OBS recently started to corrupt my MKF files. When I edit them with videopad, the videos have a freeze-frame for 1 - 3 seconds everywhere where I made a cut. The problem appears only after exporting. I already contacted someone from videopad. Considering the issue only happens with the recent MKF files (older MP4 and AVI videos work just fine), there must be something wrong on OBS side. I already reinstalled an older version, but unfortunately it didn't fix it. Here a short clip of the problem.

Hi,
Since I found it very strange that OBS would corrupt MKV files, I did a quick search on the internet.
After a short search for “VideoPad problems with MKV,” I found the following:
- VideoPad often has problems with MKV files, which can manifest themselves in the form of crashes or playback problems. It is recommended to convert MKV files to another format such as AVI or H.264 before editing them in VideoPad.

You could have found that instead of blaming OBS.
It would be better to use another editing program, such as KDenlive.

Best regards, John

I've been editing MKV files with videopad for years now. The problem just occurred, a couple of days after the latest OBS update. Personally, I don't think that's that much of a stretch.
