Comment (by heleppkes):

 Sending a "q" character to your running ffmpeg through some script is
 definitely not impossible, so you could investigate that solution.

 Otherwise, encoding into a streaming container like mpegts would also
 allow the process to be hard-interrupted without leaving a broken file.
 mp4 does not work like that, as you found out the hard way.
