I record for the youtubes. I like quality in recordings, so I tend to like 60fps 1080p. However it seems that I'm having trouble with larger file sizes or longer videos being, corrupted or something.

This is only happening when I play DarkSouls 2 (which by itself is wonky for OBS (sometimes I get crashes and the like))(I'm going to guess that the reason it doesn't happen for the other games because DarkSouls is more rich in contrast and color with more motion and bitrate) and I records at 60 fps. I've noticed that the file sizes seem to be greater than 4GB when it happens. I can't play the recording, I can't do anything with it, and sometimes it throws an error that the video isn't finishing encoding, Though it does that and sometimes it doesn't cause the problem. I'm running the 64-bit version so I don't think it's having a file problem with things greater than 4GB, but I don't want to shove that possibility aside.

I've recorded a few things that went fine since I've had a problem, so I don't know how useful this log thing is.

If you need further information, just ask.

What filesystem is the drive you're saving to?

32-bit vs 64-bit OS doesn't have bearing on file size related problems.
 
FAT32 has a per-file size limit of 4GB.
FAT16 caps out at 2GB for the total size of the partition, so it's not using that.

There's a list of things going through my head as possible causes of the problem.

Container (FLV vs MP4) isn't it because I have examples of both in my recording archives from using OBS that are over 4GB (a couple 6GB files for each).

Drive speed likely isn't the problem since you normally only need about 4-5mbyte/sec sustained to keep up with most high quality recordings and even platter hard drives are capable of several dozen times that.

Media indexers or antivirus software trying to handle the file on the fly could be it.

There might be something else I could be missing as well.
 
May be avast, I guess I could disable when gaming, but I don't know how I would disable for file streaming. I knew about the Fat32.

I have the file, but I think uploading 4.63GB is probably above the limit of what this forum will allow you to upload...

I'll look into avast's settings and see what I can dig up. Might be a while before I respond.
