I've been having an odd issue since 5.5.5.1...

When in the Timeline playback Export, if I press 'Esc' it crashes BI.
Clicking the 'Live' camera, or, 'Now' button exits okay.

I've confirmed this on 2 other computers.

... How do I see if it's still exporting? Any way to view a queue? ... From the BI manual on page 127... You can display a list of clips waiting for batch export by right-clicking in the clips window and selecting View—>Convert/Export queue. It should be possible to remove items from this queue if ...

Ran a test the other day. It took 34 minutes to export a 33gig 24 hours bvr. Given the 1.5tb your exporting, that would be around 26 hours I think.

However, if you do 'Re-Encode' the resulting MP4 will be quite a bit smaller. For my small exports up to 10-30 minutes, I 'Re-Encode'. Larger...

I would say it has to do with the angle and profile of the animal. Slim and 2 legs!

Increase the % bit?

Have you sent BI Support a request fir this?

Yes, I see no reason to switch to Win11. MS is making it look more and more like Unix/UBuntu.

You can still install Open-Shell in Win11 to get the Win7 start button and menus.

Even though your not using Schedules, are you using 'Event Schedule'? This has 'Search Back' that will reset according the the commands every 30 seconds - if not on a specific time & 'Relative to Sunrise/Sunset'. A method that I've used in the past is to 'Import' from a camera that does work. Th...
