Cannot export video recording from steam

I cannot export video files from steam. I tried multiple different locations, fails with the same message. In steam it says "Failed to export, try again(2)"

I also cannot create a share link from steam, it fails with error "cannot export file"

I can only export if I manually select H264 as the codec
