Add setting to limit file size or recording length

Can we have a video length setting for "full session" recordings?

When recording a full session, if the recording size exceeds the amount of RAM available on my computer, Outplayed fails to save the file. In my case with my current settings, that means I loose sessions that are longer than about 4 hours.

Some games aren't supported with anything other than full sessions, which is fine. But losing the footage of a full session just because it was too long is annoying.

With a video length/size setting, outplayed would automatically persist the current recording in a file and force the creation of a new recording. Ideally, it would try to limit impact on gameplay, but I'd be okay having a little bit of a stutter every 4 hours than losing my footage.

I think adding a setting "Save recording after:" with a number of minutes (or a slider, or with a target size in MB) in the "Capture > Video" settings in outplayed would be intuitive enough that most people would find it. (I am not sure which would be more commonly preferred between a time length limit and a specific file size limit, but I think my personal preference would be a file size limit)
