Video was still recording after power outage

[acidinwonderland]

Last night while I was recording my power went out, I knew immediately something was going to happen to it.

It is an MKV file and I can watch the entire thing on VLC but anywhere else it's like it's a never ending video. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Generally, Remuxing the recording either with OBS' built in function or using ffmpeg will rebuild the lost part of the file that prevents players from knowing its proper length or seeking within it.

How to simply convert video files (i.e.: MKV to MP4)?

I simply want to convert files, any format to any format (at the moment, I need to convert MKV to MP4-h264), without losing quality. I don't want to resize (scale) the video, I don't want to change...
