Hi everyone. Can anyone help?
I need a long-term (a month or more non-stop) recording with hourly segmentation, but I want each file (segment) to have a name indicating the segment's creation date and time. Currently, when recording, only the initial name of the start of the day and time of recording is created, and then only the segment number. This is really necessary.
for example, what it looks like now
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00096.mp4 09.03.26 19:19
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00095.mp4 09.03.26 18:19

MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00085.mp4 09.03.26 08:19
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00084.mp4 09.03.26 07:19
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00083.mp4 09.03.26 06:19
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00082.mp4 09.03.26 05:19
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 05 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 - 00081.mp4 09.03.26 04:19

In this case, the actual date of file creation is visible only in Explorer or Film Manager.

And as needed

MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 19-19-47 .mp4
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 18-19-47 .mp4

MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 07-19-47 .mp4
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 06-19-47 .mp4
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 05-19-47 .mp4
MultiCorder1 - DeckLink Duo (3) 3 - 09 марта 2026 - 04-19-47 .mp4

Essentially, file names should be the same as those in a surveillance camera video recorder.

Is it possible to set this file name format in Vmix?
Thanks

This is understandable, but when writing long segmented records, it uses the original name, not the unique one for each segment.

I must be missing something or rather not fully understanding (from original post)

"Essentially, file names should be the same as those in a surveillance camera video recorder." ????
