Tool comparison
Wondershare Repairit alternative for corrupted OBS MP4 recordings
Wondershare Repairit is a broad video repair suite with online and desktop options. If your specific problem is an OBS crash that left an MP4 unplayable, StreamSalvage is a narrower alternative: local-only Windows repair, a free preview, and a $29 one-time export.
Where Repairit fits
Repairit covers many formats, devices, and repair scenarios. Its online repair flow asks you to add the damaged video, repair it online, then preview and save the result. Its desktop app is the better match for large files because Wondershare lists no video number limit, no video size limit, and support for 20+ video formats on the desktop option.
That breadth is useful if you repair lots of different file types. It can also be more tool than you need when the job is simply "OBS crashed and the MP4 will not open."
Where StreamSalvage is different
StreamSalvage is intentionally smaller. It focuses on the common OBS failure mode: the recording data exists, but the MP4 was never finalized. Instead of uploading the file to an online service, you repair on your own PC and use a short reference clip when the file needs metadata rebuilt.
