CBREC Question

So i have given CBREC a try and have the files saving as mp4 in settings, however when i go to watch the video with vlc and try to fast forward through the video to find the parts i may like, it is choppy and takes a few seconds to start playing again, it reminds me of a ts file and not mp4, so my question is what are you guys saving as file type?

On my side I record videos as .ts file and then I open it by avidemux, FF works fine, can select the parts I like and save it by using "copy" option which save the video as .mkv very fast or to work on the video (audio/video sync or resize i.e.) and save it as .mp4 or different file type (it takes a bit of time to save it)

I can do that, but i still can't skip through a video without it becoming a choppy mess while i am looking for the interesting parts.

Exactly, I do it the same way. No problem and nothing is choppy. The ts file is sometimes (at large resolution and multiple simultaneous recordings) choppy when you rewind back and forth during a recording. But this will be converted later in mp4 and after then everything is okay (clean).

You can record directly as mp4 by changing the file extension to mp4 and the ffmpeg parameters to end with "-f mp4"

Adding -f mp4 to the ffmpeg parameters completely got rid of the lag when rewinding through the video, thankyou dude
