Question / Help Recording separate 5-20 min clips with OBS Studio possible? (similar to Xsplit)

[DenreiSan]

Is it possible to continuously record with OBS Studio but have the video files separate into 5-20 min clips like XSplit offers? I've been having trouble getting my longer form videos (1 hour+ in duration) to be viewable without the file being corrupted. Help!

 

[DenreiSan]

No solutions?

I've been having trouble getting my longer form videos (1 hour+ in duration) to be viewable without the file being corrupted.

Then stop saving directly to mp4.

 

[DenreiSan]

I'm not sure why saving to a certain format would be the cause for software that should be able to handle it. Is there a format you suggest? Also, you're saying OBS can't separate files in 5-20 min of duration? That was really my main question...

 

[Harold]

Saving directly to mp4 is strongly not recommended due to the container format's notorious unreliability.

Save to flv, and if you need mp4s afterwards remux them using the built in function.

As for auto-segmenting, no it's not implemented or currently possible.

@DenreiSan Also, you may experiment with Custom Muxer Settings to write fragmented (less compatible, maybe player and edit software update required, but you'll be able to save aborted recordings) mp4/mov file:

movflags=frag_keyframe min_frag_duration=4000000

Thank you so much for the help. It really is unfortunate that auto segmenting is unavailable. But, I will give everything a shot and reply back if I encounter any issues. Thanks again @Harold @Suslik V
