I thought I had set up something I could recover MOV files etc with, but I honestly don't think it worked. I wanted to minimize file-size but maxamize recoverablity for local recordings as storms happen very often where I live.

I tried to recover it using recover_mp4 but the video.hdr randomly speeds up and slows down (due to CBR?) and the audio doesn't even begin to work (probably since I use multipliable audio tracks) and when using FFMPEG the video fails to do anything, and the audio is worse somehow. Suggestions to fix it?


Additionally how can I prevent this better (while preferably using multipliable audio tracks)

I had one knock out my power today and lost an important recording in progress these are my settings:

More can be provided if needed.

Save to MKV instead. MOV is the predecessor of MP4 and MP4 inherited a lot of the same problems.

MKV has an issue when seeking to a timestamp where it buffers for about 10-30 seconds in VLC as far as I can tell. Is that something I did wrong or?

Right so I tried a lot of things for MKV buffering but it doesn't help. Thought VLC might have had an issue so I update it, change it's playback type adjusted buffers etc and it still takes a few seconds to seek. I could re-encode it with ffmpeg but, at that rate why not record in that format?
 
I suppose I can remux, just hopped I could figure out something better. FLV is far worse than MKV.
I doubt I can recover that MOV file can I?
