Question / Help OBS crashes when recording to webm file

[jammylammy]

The problem is from the vp9 encoder but I can't change it to anything else with webm so I seem to be boned here. Anyone else having this problem? I included the crash log.

Solution (worked for me) - OS: Windows
- Install the current version of OBS (nov/2020 : 26.0.2)
- Download the current SHARED library build of ffmpeg (nov/2020 : 4.3.1) (https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)
- Extract the contents of the ffmpeg zip file
- Navigate to the \bin folder of ffmpeg
- Copy all the .dll files
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit folder (or where ever you have obs installed)
*optional* backup the original .dll files that have the same filename as the ones copied from ffmpeg (Rename and/or move the original .dll files)
- paste the .dll files extracted from the ffmpeg folder
You can delete the ffmpeg folder if you wish.

Now OBS will work with WEBM: VP9 or VP8 + VORBIS (OPUS still not working)
:-)

I had the simmilar problem yesterday, trying to record WEBM videos. OBS crashed twice, and now i have two UNDELETABLE files on my ntfs hdd. rem /f in admin cmd haven't work! I can't delete folder with them or rename it too. Are there any way to get rid of them?

Resolved this by using windows subsystem for linux, thx to my university mate:

wsl sudo rm

Let's leave this here in cause of repeated issue.
