Record drive space. When you click record can you say at the bottom of the vmix bar how much record drive space you have remaining. This would be really useful for multicoder.

until available use a script to check and display (only takes 2 lines - one to check and one to display )

A double click on "this PC" shows it. I don't think this requires a gigantic effort and starting a multicorder session without making sure about available space first is like a professional fault. Having the info displayed after starting the multicorder would not make it better if the disk is already full or almost.

DWAN did you just want to troll with this statement.

We all know to check this but after hours of records it’s would still be nice to know. Most professional recorders tell you this.

I also disagree with other statements of if it’s full. At least on a pc you can open explorer and delete old files.

I am just asking if they could have an easy to see disk space available at a glance next to record.

Nope! I just don't think vMix needs such features as it's not its role to deal with available space and Windows by itself provides everything you need to know about it.

Just display it in a title in big bold characters if really needed (put the formula in a SetText function in the script)

Code:
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0.00}",(New DriveInfo("D:").AvailableFreeSpace/1073741824))&" GB")
