 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.
