OBS video stops at 2:20 but it's 2GB and it was supposed to be 22:30

[JediMaso]

Hello, I'm attaching the log.

The very last one was the final attempt that worked great, the video was supposed to be 22:30 minutes, and it's 2GB (4k video), so I assume all the full video is there, but when I try to import it to Premiere says the file is damaged. And when I play it it only shows 2:20mins

Is there a way to repair it or recover the full content? I've heard of the tool "untrunc," which allows you to give it a healthy file and then fix it for you. Would that work for me?

Any other suggestions?
Not sure why this happened, I've a powerful PC 9950X3D and 5090GPU, 64GB RAM, it should be able to handle 4K video with high quality.

Also, attaching my current settings.

Thank you

I tried using the untrunc app, but I got this:

Info: parsing healthy moov atom ...
Warning: failed decoding atom: invalid atom name: '�B��'
Error: no 'moov' atom found
no 'moov' atom found

???

Mentioned util is only for ISO compatible formats: .mp4, .mov, .m4v, .qt files.
You are recording to Matroska .mkv

Your hardware setup looks strange. It seems you're not even using your RTX 5090, since your monitor is connected to your onboard graphics connector. Currently, this PC is running on the iGPU of the Ryzen processor.

You recorded to mkv, and recording to mkv automatically ensures video integrity up to the point of interruption, so you don't need untrunc. Just do File > remux to restore possible envelope damage.

I tried doing the remux to MP4, but it gave me a 2:20 mp4 file, working with chatgpt it told me there was an error with the nvidia processing method (it told me to choose the newer one, not the deprecated one) so I did that, but then it caused a problem, probably because my GPU is very new (5090). But it can also be what you mentioned, so I've disabled the CPU i-gpu. And will be doing some testing, hopefully this doesn't happen again.
As per the file, I tried several things already, different recovery software, and according to chatgpt, it's almost certain that after 2:20 only garbage data was written due to the error.

ChatGPT suggested using x264 (CPU) to process video instead to avoid problems.

If anyone has a different solution to recover the file, it would be very nice!
Let me know
Thank you.
