Re: Limit size not respected

I don't think 0 will record anything to delete. Mmm...I don't wonna run that risk. Depending on what else may be on the drive, try a limit of 4.5 to account for any other files and to compensate for how Windows actually calculates space. A 5.4TB drive is only going to have 4.8 or so usable file spa...

Limit size not respected

Hi all! I've been running BI for some years and every once in a while it doesn't delete files when it reaches the Limit sieze of 5000GB that I've setup. Last time it happened I had to remove about 1TB of clips and it started delete the old ones automatically. Now, I'd really prefer not to do that ag...
