I have a problem with one VDV instance whereby I have it set to use 1000GB and save for 15days, yet, I can't see the video "between" clips from something that happened just yesterday. Also, it doesn't seem to ever use more than about 285GB of hard disk space?
Suggestions? v1.4.3 b6238
Anyway I can get back something from last night, that doesn't show in the list of clips?
Looking for video between clips, not saving everything?

Re: Looking for video between clips, not saving everything?
Hi JPElectron,
Have you accessed 'cache' video before? If not, here is how, please give this a try:
1) Make sure you have a single camera selected in the search view. You can't view anything other than clips matching rules when on 'all cameras'.
2) Once a camera is selected, you should then see green areas on the timeline, this represents cached video that did not match rules, and will eventually be deleted.
3) You can click into the green bar to enter cache, or you can go to a clip around the time you want and either press play/next frame once it reaches the end to continue into the following cache (assuming there is cache there), you can also press previous frame at the beginning of a clip.
Hope that helps,

"Make sure you have a single camera selected in the search view"
...that's the step I was missing - I found the cached video "between the clips"
Thanks a ton!

Great! Glad that's all the problem was. 
I suspect that the reason you're only hitting 285 gigs is that this is all your computer needs for 15 days of video? It should creep up over time as more clips persist past this, but that speed will depend greatly on how many clips are generated per day and tagged to be saved.
