Question / Help (Suggestion) When Out Of Space, Don't Corrupt The Footage When Recording Is Stopped

[TheFirePlayer14540]

Hope there isn't a post like this one...

This happens to me a lot of times, like 20, but when I I am almost out of disk space, not only should OBS stop the recording, but also not corrupt the footage so it's unwatchable. At this time, I have 100MBs left, before being completely full, the recording stopped, but I can't watch my video. I am using MP4, but video format should not make a difference since it's like you tell OBS to stop recording, and that's how it should work when OBS stops the recording by itself. I'm also too lazy to change where my recordings should go.

The video format makes a huge difference. MP4 corrupts very easily if the slightest error happens. MKV or FLV are much safer since they don't require a "finalization" process.

The upcoming OBS Studio version 24.0.0 has the feature to automatically stop recording if there is less than 50 MB disk space.

• Recording now automatically stop if there is less than 50 megabytes left of disk space available [cg2121]
