Hi guys.

So I was playing a Christmas gig today using an ATEM Mini Pro USB output so I was unable to record on the ATEM. However, I used the Multicorder function in vMix to record my video input from my ATEM. I selected the option to create a new file after every 30 mins to stay on the safer side.

However after about an hour and half, I began to get a CPU overloaded error in vMix although I was not running any other graphics intensive apps aside vMix. I checked Task manager and found out it was ffmpeg chewing up around 70% of CPU. I realized my input video kept lagging a little bit but after a few minutes of the CPU overloaded error, it stopped.

It began to throw the error again after another 10 mins, stopped for a while, began again and was like that till the end of the event. After the end of the event I checked my files and realized that after the 3rd file, the remaining files were over 30 mins even tho I had selected the option to create a new file every 30 mins.

I tried opening these files and only the first three files played correctly. The rest of the files over 30 mins play audio correctly but video is frozen on the first frame till the end of the video. has anyone faced this issue too? Is there a fix for it to get the files?

Please help. I really need to put these files together and slap the audio under to send to my bosses. If there is any solution anyone can help me with, kindly help me out. I am really in deep trouble.

Below is a screenshot to further illustrate the issue.

Chale, thats a difficult issue. Not sure there is a way to recover those files, but one thing i would recomend is not recording with ffmpeg. Simple MP4 would have made things much more simple

I just wanted a much better quality for the client. I guess I’ve learnt my lesson. Hmmm

In case you haven't tried indexing the files, try indexing with vmix video tools to see if you get any result

I recorded using the MOV (Indexed) format so I don't think I need to index the files again but I'll try. Thank you.
