Expected Behavior
I'd expect the remux to show a more descriptive error, and an option to change to another format in the remux menu.
Current Behavior
A non-descriptive error appears that says that it failed, but the actual error is printed into the logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Set an audio track to PCM
- Record for a couple seconds
- Try remuxing
- See error

Research direction
Reproduce the remux failure by recording a short video with a PCM audio track and remuxing it, then inspect the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/ckoWX8JQxYxMUX4y. Trace the remux error handling and menu flow from that reproduction. Done means the failure gives a descriptive error and offers another format where appropriate.
