Question / Help VLC Shows No Video Stream, But Plays in YouTube

I just installed the latest copy of VLC and the latest copy of OBS on a fresh install of Windows 7 with Intel HD Graphics. When I record to a local file, I see the recording in the preview window, but when I open the file with VLC, it's only the sound. When I go to VLC tools > Codec Information, only the audio stream shows up there.

Uploading the video to youtube, the video does show up.

In OBS > Settings > Encoding, I have x264, Use CBR, Enable CBR padding, MaxBitrate 10000. I tried some other settings, but they did not work.

I know this isn't a problem with OBS, but can anyone say why this is happening? I would seem that the open source recorder and the open source playback should work together!!
 
Thanks SR.
The log in VLC says:
Code:
mp4 error: invalid index counting total samples 96 96
mp4 error: cannot create chunks index

It looks like they know about the problem in VLC land: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=124530&hilit=Open+Broadcaster

FWIW:

They also mention that its fixed in the 3.0.0 nightly build, could you maybe check if that is true?
Its either a problem of your settings combination with that VLC bug or my 2.2.0 version doesnt have the bug :D
