Question / Help Recording not found.

[pard1010]

Hello :)


I've made a recording today, like always, when I stop de recording, I'm able to open the folder where the video I just made is.
Although, today I was not able to find the video anywhere on the usual folder, or anywhere else in my computer.

I noticed that the program has a recorded LOG (txt) from exactly the same time as I was making my video.

Is it possible to recover the video using that same log ? or is this just a way that the program as to keep track of what I was doing ?

thanks so much. hoping some of you can help me

Were you previewing when you thought you were recording? I've done that before....

 

[pard1010]

no. i really started the recording... in the end i stopped it, like always..

 

[Boildown]

Out of hard drive space? Has it worked properly since then or before then?

 

[pard1010]

before and since then it work properly, yes

 

[Boildown]

Hmm no idea then. Can you post the log file from when it happened?

 

[pard1010]

this is it. it looks like the video is gone..... right?
I was so sure it was working...

 

[Boildown]

Yeah, I don't know. Nothing in that log looks like a failure to me. The last encode in that log was super short, but normally it writes a equally small file when that happens. Maybe it overwrote instead? Do you set the filename each time manually or let it auto-generate filenames?

 

[pard1010]

I let it auto-generate the filenames, always. I only change the location and the name after I'm done with it. It probably did not save because it was not recording... I really am starting to believe that some how, it was not really recording.

Because, when we open OBS, even when we don't record anything, the program keeps logs in txt , right?
