same thing. moved to local drive, rebuilt database (did not move files) so clips were blank as expected. did a manual record and clip shows with 0 seconds. cannot play file, new folder is empty.

direct to disk. after i said they wouldn't record three cameras did. others still won't. i noticed all my folders show Read only in explorer. i uncheck the box and apply but it doesn't change when i go back and look. odd because the db folder shows the same but it is updating the db. not sure what is up there. i am an admin - only user on the box.

i think you are on to something. if i turn OFF direct to disk, it seems to work consistently. when it is ON, it won't record. i may have missed that as i was setting it up. of course this hurts bad as i am already fighting 100% CPU issues on this box too. ugh...

Try simply using h.264 with direct to disc... Not +

good memory fenderman. i forgot about that. turned it off on three cameras and all seem to work consistently. i thought i had this issue before i did that but i have changed these so many times it all runs together. i will see how this goes. service installed again and it works that way as well. now if i could figure out my CPU issues (apart from cutting back quality on cameras). thanks! i will update you as to whether or not this sticks.
