I am also experiencing the same issue, trying to change the recording folder to another disk.
Starting steam from cli to get some more information (more is possible if required)

Also faced this issue, in my case on Ubuntu 22.04. Although in my case, even changing the folder back to default broke things -- I had to disable recording altogether. Happy to upload or share the crash dump if it's useful.

Are you on the beta still? After I swapped back to the stable release of Steam when game recording fully released, I am now able to change my raw recordings folder.
I'm on the stable client...

Weird, well I think you should probably drop a crash dump just in case a Valve employee does come along to check out the issue.
Nothing extracted yet.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I attempted to change my raw recordings folder to a secondary drive due to my low disk space, changing it to my USB drive yielded a segmentation fault after choosing the directory I wanted to save to, after messing around to see if there are any workarounds I originally thought this might be a permissions issue, I tried changing to a completely different drive but that would also crash, I also noticed that even if you move one directory down from the default directory of
.local/share/Steam/userdata/-/gamerecordings/it would also yield a segmentation fault, another thing is that Steam is able to create a new directory in the drive but that's about it.(Latest crash dump ID related to the issue:
