Question / Help Recording in FLV and I can't change it.

[MinnieMay9]

I had my OBS recording to my computer in an MP4 format and since I installed the latest update it is now recording in FLV. I looked through the settings and tried to change it, but how can I get it back to recording in MP4 format?

It's provably stupid to save directly to mp4, and to date there have been 0 people that have been able to give me a GOOD reason to save directly to mp4.

I use really primitive editing software and it doesn't recognize FLV as a file format and having to put it though a converter seems like an unnecessary step if I don't have to.

Remuxing is a trivial process that isn't a full on conversion, and the amount of lost footage to improper termination of the recording process means that saving directly to mp4 is NOT a good idea.

Okay, looks like I will be converting it after the fact then. Thanks.
