Why is BI exporting only part of my 1 hour video?

BI Release 5.5.7.11

Sometimes it's 20, 23, 40 or some varying amount of time even though the clips are all one hour. I've set start and end frames to the beginning-end respectively and I've tried this in both the BI GUI as well as the UI3 GUI.

I wonder if its affected by the record tabs setting.
For instance I also use 1 hour breaks but i changed the default numerical value of Gigabytes to 8.
Thinking it wouldn't break early based on file size.

But being on 5.5.7.11, they will probably just tell you to get current and try again :)

I would upgrade to the latest but I'm still sticking to the very last version that supports DeepStack since it's less work to migrate. Ergo, I'd like to stay put but wanted to save some video footage before it gets overwritten in a couple of days.
 
Well if you have another computer handy, you could install Blue Iris 6 without a license and copy the bvr files over, open them with Blue Iris, and possibly get it to export the whole file properly.

I wish "bvr" was a public format understood by anything besides Blue Iris. Maybe I could get Ken to produce a spec sheet for me. With AI available it should be easy for him, and then it'd be easy for anyone else (like me) to use AI to build a standalone BVR player and/or converter. Heck with it. I'm gonna send Ken a support email asking if he'll provide that. Doesn't hurt to try.

For anyone following along ... Ken delivered a BVR spec to me this afternoon, so I built a web-based player based on it. GitHub - bp2008/BVR-Player-Web: A web-based player for Blue Iris .bvr files. (none of this would have been possible on this timescale without AI !)

I would be very curious to know if it has any issues playing your bvr files, @Sybertiger. I've only tested it so far on 3 of my own BVR files which were created much more recently by BI 6. But supposedly the BVR format has been pretty stable. This player doesn't have export-to-mp4 capability yet but that should be coming soon.
