OK, did you look at the output file when it stopped ? What was the size of that ? Did you try playing it, even if it didn't complete, if you can play it, you will learn if the stuttering has stopped. Obviously saving videos uncompressed isn't feasible. I would start looking at changing the settings in OBS and using .mkv instead of .flv I would make some short videos to test the settings and see if you can create them without the stutter on playback. Try cutting 10 minutes of the original file and saving it to another file. try playing that which I think would still stutter, then try uncompressing the shorter video. (only if you can't play the incomplete file) So you have two things to do, find the optimal settings and output for OBS that you can play, and continue trying to convert your flv into a format that you system can play. If you can't find optimal settings for OBS, then I would think it is time to look at getting a better system to do video processing, which I think would involve a video card/chip with hardware acceleration.
