I changed the Output Mode from 'Advanced' to 'Simple' to get the recording pause feature.

How to Pause OBS video recordings
Did you know that you can now pause OBS recordings! With the latest version of OBS 24.0 or later you can pause a recording in OBS and then restart the
streamgeeks.us
here you go. If you can’t pause your video recordings it because your videos are being recorded in the wrong format.
Hi, how do you change the Output Mode?

Have you ever streamed with OBS? If so, then go to Settings/Output and you will see "Recording Quality: Same as stream". This causes the recordings being unable to be paused. If you see that, then set it to "High Quality, Medium File Size". Hope this helped!
This is extremely helpful! It helped a rookie like me. As one needs to register on the forum so perhaps that's why not many likes. Can't thank you enough.

This worked for me, thank you!
took a bit to find it. At top of Settings >> Output page is the Output mode which can be changed from advanced to simple and down from there in the Recording settings there is a Recordinjg Quality box usually set to "same as stream". Change that baby to anything else you like. Save it. Go back to your studio page and start recording. A pause button appears beside the recording button thing. At the bottom of the page you will notice a red button indicating you are recording. if you press the pause bars beside the "Stop Recording" button thiny again,, the red buttoin changes to pause bars. It's paused recording. Press the pause bars beside the Stop Recording box and the red button returns indicating you are recording. It's a little confusing since the pause bars beside the Start/Stoip Recording button selection does not change when pausing. You have to look at the bottom of the page, over on the right a little. Hope this helps.
Very simple solution. Go to File > Settings > Output. Then change the Output Mode from Simple to Advanced. Now click on "Recording" tab and you will see "Warning: Recordings cannot be paused if the recording encoder is set to "(Use stream encoder)" so just change the Encoder. I picked x264. And now when I'm recording the Pause button is available.

The pause feature is unavailable with the "Like in live broadcast" quality setting under: Settings > Output > Recording > Recording Quality. I chose the next level quality, and it came back. <(^-^)>
