I have plenty of disk space available and I want to keep my recorded clips in my "new" folder for as long as possible so that I can view them in BI (keeps them in .bvr format for viewing) before moving them to the "stored" folder where they will be converted from .bvr to h.264.
I set my new and stored folder with the following settings, but now BI starts moving clips which are only 1 day old! I don't get it.
What am I doing wrong?? Here are some screenshots of my folders.

I'd also tick the "Limit clip age" box and set it to something really high like 60 days. BI will move files based on the file size anyway. That's how I have mine set up and it's been working great.

Another thing to try is to go into the Status Alert window, then Clip Storage, and repair the database.

If all else fails, you can always stop the BI service, delete everything inside the c:\BlueIris folder, start the service, and let everything rebuild.
