With mp4 it is wise to use Custom Muxer Settings to write a fragmented mp4/mov file.

For example,
movflags=frag_keyframe min_frag_duration=4000000

This insures, that if application crashed, then all info to the last keyframe (recorded into the file) could be used (not corrupted), and you can lose no more than 4 sec of the recorded footage (buffered data not included). Thus only ~4...6 sec is lost in crash.

Not sure if anyone can help me but I added this line to my recording settings, however what I have now is an 8gb/4hour recording which only comes up as 4 seconds of footage...

Just a heads up if anyone comes here from looking for a solution to OBS hanging on stopping recording...

I said, less compatible. Update your player/editing software (codec). Your file contains all footage. Nothing wrong. This is default behavior for players that come out 2 years ago (even some new affected).

Some software: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/post-production-tools-you-can-use.234/ and more in discussion https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/post-production-tools-you-can-use.34080/
