OBS Studio Crash Log URL

No crash log generated, even though it crashed...

Expected Behavior

When I stop my recording, obs produces the video without crashing.

Current Behavior

When I stop my recording, obs produces the video, but crashes in the process. The video is playable.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go To Settings>Output and set Output to Advanced
  2. Go to Recording and set Video Encoder to FFmpeg VAAPI H.264 or Quicksync H.264
  3. Set VAAPI Device to HD Graphics 5500 (If using VAAPI)
  4. Re-launch obs (this is done because the "output fails to save" error is shown after applying settings and starting recording)
  5. Start Recording
  6. End Recording, OBS freezes and crashes (The video exported should still be exported and playable)
    ...

Anything else we should know?

Happens on these encoders:
FFmpeg VAAPI H.264
Quicksync H.264

Might be related, but when apply settings to one of these encoders, I am unable to start the recording and it gives this log: VAAPI, QS
