We just received word from our video hosting provider that the .FLV file format may be problematic as an upload source.

If you have a submission video file in the .FLV format that you want to upload, it is recommended that you convert it to .mp4 before uploading it into the TG submission system.

There is an article here that discusses how to convert the .FLV file.

Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up but that's a bummer. FLV is nice and light and is the default OBS output format.

I don't like recording in MP4 because it's a real pain to recover a recording which fails to complete correctly. Much better to record in FLV. However, I've just discovered OBS has a lovely "Remux Recordings" feature on the File menu. It doesn't re-encode: just copies the codec content (video+audio content) from the source file (FLV, for example) into the output file (MP4, for example). The two files will be almost identical in size after (because it is only changing that wrapper information).


Note: for those with ffmpeg it's very simply with

Code:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.flv -c copy outputfile.mp4

(I did have a one-liner to do massive quanties under Linux in bash but have removed it due to forum weirdness with censoroship around the closing-cruly brace!** <!?!?! any closing bracket?
