Description
Summary
Bizhawk closes when fast forwarding while HD spins up in energy saving mode
Probably some file access timeout.
Repro
- set windows energy saving mode
- record a movie
- wait till the HD that contains the ISO you´re recording spins down during gameplay (games with CD audio work best, Battle Arena Toshinden etc.)
- while recording wait till a level ends and the shutdown HD with the ISO is accessed
- while the HD spins up, Bizhawk is frozen, if you hold Fast forward pressed-> Bizhawk closes

None, just closes!

Research direction
Reproduce on Windows with energy-saving mode enabled, a recording in progress, and fast-forward held while the ISO drive spins up. Compare the behavior with issue #2675 and investigate why BizHawk closes without output; done means the emulator remains open and recording continues through the delayed disk access.
