Hi,
Just upgraded to latest vmix 24 and did some tests (windows 11 - TB4 BM mini recorder: all is well!!)
I did some start - stop - start tests and noticed only one recording in the recording directory. Did some more tests and found the previous recoring is overweritten!!
This has never happened to me before: I regularly stop-start recordings at an interlude or break / change - just to be sure the recording is saved and as a marker.
But now this would mean the previous recording is deleted!!
Bug? - Setting?
Note recording was in MP4 - HEVC with setting start new every 30 minutes (but only tested 1 minute...
cheers
Stefan

to add to this:
did a quick test and noticed I used capital MM for minutes (just at 2 minutes past the hour) - this should be mm for minuts otherwise it writes 02 for the month February.
Added a seconds counter (ss) to the file format - so now the file name is unique and the previous file is not overwritten.
STILL: this should be noted! a recording should never be overwritten without a warning! If you make a mistake with the settings then you might be in for a suprise.
So a file overwrite warning maybe?
Stefan

Hi,
This is working exactly as intended.
Note if you change a setting, you should first understand what that setting does and test it prior to a production.
Regards,

vMix That's exactly what I was doing, Martin: testing prior to production. I never understood it is intentional to have files overwritten in a stop-start action (if you do not give it a unique time code marker in the name). Overwriting files without warning is a risk, always. anyway: thanks. Stefan

Warning in the manual maybe ;-) it standard expectation because most other programs give that warning... Originally Posted by: doggy Originally Posted by: h2video.nl a recording should never be overwritten without a warning! i don't know, one could want that intentionally
