Do you know a easy way, to stop recording via a hotkey?

Because my recorded videos via ffmpeg always had the last seconds showing me how to switch to the terminal and stop by hand, which is more work for editing, which is why I use OBS studio, which I can recommend.

Assigning `killall ffmpeg` to a hotkey does the job.

Hm, I think I tried that and it caused trouble with mp4.

You might have better luck sending SIGINT instead of SIGTERM using 'killall -INT ffmpeg' so that it exits cleanly.

I suppose AutoHotkey would do the job :)
