Written in C and C++ programming languages and maintained by the OBS Project, the software is quite stable too though there also are times when things can go wrong with the recording and such. Described here are a few methods that can help you set things right in the unfortunate scenario of OBS files getting corrupted, which in any case is a big issue for those working on OBS.

How to fix corrupted OBSfiles

Open your installation of OBS on your PC. Click on Settings from the bottom down corner. In the Setting dialog box, select Output from the options shown in the left panel. Under the Recording tab, click on Recording Format. From the dropdown list that shows, select mkv.

Click on Apply at the bottom right for the change to take effect.

Click on Apply at the bottom right corner. Click on Close at the top right corner and you should be better off with your future recording from henceforth.

Further, if you have a previous recording which you are unable to open, the most likely reason for that is that it might have become corrupted.
