Video recording not starting/not stopping

[gregest]

Very often when I try to start recording a video, it cannot be stopped and the only thing I can do is repeatedly click Abort until it throws an error or close sharex, this is the only thing it throws which doesn't even seem like an actual error message

A while back after the 16.0.1 update I did have a separate ffmpeg error where recording also crashed, however I haven't encountered that one in a while and instead it got replaced by this error

Re-install FFmpeg, if the issue persist let me know.

turns out the issue to this specific one was that it for some reason switched to gdigrab instead of dshow, dshow mostly works unless I encounter the "conversion failed" error

This still happens for me, however it's related to the Microphone.

This happens when the device gets disconnected, but my microphone is currently detected (and was working 20 minutes ago).

I tried to record a video using the same device manually with ffmpeg stand-alone (that's in the ShareX folder) and it recorded without issue.

I have also tested to see if ffmpeg closes out or hangs, and ffmpeg successfully closes on stop, however, it seems that the file causes a hang in Media Player. The video plays fine but the file doesn't close when the media player closes.

I changed the ffmpeg to use custom commands and a -report (I was trying to log what was going on with ffmpeg) and it freezes, I checked the log and it looks like it succeeded, so I checked the file in the log and it exists and the audio is there.

I also tried without all the destinations off and actions after the tasks, and reinstalling after deleting the ShareX folder.
