OBS Stuck at "Stopping Recording"

Hello everyone.
Today I had this issue.
Completed my recording and clicked "Stop Reording" but it stuck there.
I've been using same recording settings for so long and never had any issue.
By the way, I can watch my complete recording via VLC or other media players but I simply can't import the file to Premiere Pro or Handbrake.

Here are the log details:

Likely encoder failure (internal failure). It may cause this never ending "Stopping..." of OBS.

At the time when OBS stuck - you can try to make memory dump of the process and if some developer will ask for it - you can share it with him personally (sometimes developers do this kind of investigations, this helps to resolve OBS own issues if there any).


As for the damaged file, try at least to remux it via main menu File > Remux Recordings (don't forget give to the target file different name!).
