Hello, I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't find anything specific to my issue and hoping someone can help.
I also apologise that I can't post a log of this issue, as these recordings are old and the laptop I made them on died - I'm now running OBS on a new laptop.
My issue is that I have a select number of recorded streams that seem to have SOME kind of corruption? I have been recording into mkv format with what seemed to be the recommended settings - though I am new to this so might have made some mistakes. The issue is that, as the streams are in mkv, I want to convert some of the more fun ones to mp4 in a smaller file size for some of my viewers. I use Pinnacle Studio 23 to do this. 90% of the streams this works a treat, I have a nice mp4 at the end and everything is synced up. But some files show up green without a preview in Pinnacle and when I try to convert to mp4 anyway, I either get an unplayable file with a greyed out play button, or a video with SERIOUS audio sync issues. But playing them through Windows Media player as an mkv file, you wouldn't know there was any difference with the files.
One of the streams was 13 hours so I thought it might be the size? But there are other small ones I've found that have the same issue, while the next days stream file will be totally fine? I've searched Pinnacle forums too and can't find my specific issue anywhere. I'm just hoping someone can maybe tell me what caused this so it doesn't happen again and maaaybe if I can get the 13h of recording back aha
I'm a total newbie to this so I'm sorry if I haven't provided helpful information!
