Issue Description:
While I was trying to screen record a long video(1-2 hours) an issue emerged:
After hitting QuickTime stop button on my menu bar, the screen record couldn't be saved. Meaning, no screen record is prompted so I can save it.

The thing is when I screen record a short video(0-10 minutes) there's no issue:
After hitting QuickTime stop button on my menu bar, the screen record could be saved. Meaning, the preview screen record is prompted to save it.

Some people on the forums say I need more space in my hard drive but I got 800GB available. So that's not the case for me.

I don't know If this issue is machine-specific. But please, give it a try and consider to reproduce this issue in your machine.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open QuickTime app
  2. In the menu bar click File | New Screen Recording
  3. You'll be prompted with a bar at the bottom. Click Record.
  4. Wait at least 1 hour and click the stop icon in the menu bar.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Long screen recordings(1-2 hours) Should do the exact same behavior as with short videos.
