Description

Assume, you have been capturing video from a screen for three hours and eventually you're about to finish but any issue occurs killing your application or entire system (Windows BSOD, electricity cut off, out of memory (RAM), therefore a crash report).
In this case you've lost your three hours of your valuable work because the captured video is corrupted.
Since capturing a video is lasting process that highly likely will take place it would be reasonable to prevent users from such a disruptions to avoid painful loss of data and angry user reports.
Is it possible to prevent this issue?
When I kill ffmpeg during the capturing process I have a video file that gives an error on opening.
