Expected Behavior
I expect it to just continue without any hitches.
Current Behavior
I recorded for a while (the one here was one i recorded up to seven minutes for) and the video just froze. I'm using the settings that OBS picked out for me, and im on the base M1 Air.
Steps to Reproduce
- Record a video
- Come back after a while and see if it is frozen or not
Anything else we should know?
I updated to 13.5.1 and it appears to be quite a bit better, but it still hasnt COMPLETELY solved the issue. I once got up to 20 mins without it freezing.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/aB4RI68Sz5cowRYx and reproduce the issue on macOS 13 with OBS 29.1.0-beta3 or 29.0.2. Record for several minutes using the reported settings and compare behavior across macOS versions. Done means identifying and correcting the cause of the video freeze, with recording continuing reliably.
