count me as one of those individuals where the right repeater is not reflecting any video when I try to view it (ie 0MB files). wonder what the fix is. Anyone think this can be fixed via future software update?

When there is a problem, most of the time it's my right repeater that has 0MB files, but there have been instances where the right is fine and it's the left repeater with 0MB files. Sometimes the right or left repeater file sizes are small and the video is pixelated, other times everything works fine. Never had an issue with the Recent folder so I don't think it's a physical repeater problem for me.
Maybe those who have not had any issues at all can post what their using? We can collect some data in case certain drives perform better than others?
I have this issue only in sentry mode with the right side camera. Dashcam mode doesn't seem to exhibit this behavior.

Many of us have ruled out an issue with the USB drive. Most of us are using USB drives which operate under high temperature, low power, and are high-speed (far higher than required for writing these small video files).
The main difference I have seen has been between firmware releases. I have had relatively stable releases, and then from time to time, unstable releases. This morning, all of my video files worked fine on the way to the office. Yesterday, they were working only partially. There seems to be some operating condition which is restricting the ability to write and/or transcode the video files reliably. If I had access to the MCU, I'd keep an eye on the resources (using tools like atop). Some people on this forum have access to their MCU's, but I don't know anyone who's on modern MCU and AP hardware that does. Perhaps @verygreen might have an idea.
I don't think it's a USB issue too. When you push the record button for dash cam, those files are written without an issue.
For me the TeslaCam folder just has two folders, one is RecentClips and another is SavedClips. Dashcam videos are stored in the RecentClips folder. Does this answer your question?what do you mean by dashcam mode. do you mean if you look in the dashcam folder, not the sentry saved folder?
if airbags deployed/car otherwise noticed the accident, demand Tesla to provide the recording to you, they take recordings of all such events. it's only 6.5/5 seconds (depending on cam in question) but they absolutely do collect them.This isn't the case for me. Writing to an SSD, pressed the button to record (to capture an event where my car was rear-ended), and the files are partially corrupt.
I've convinced myself that it's an encoding bug, and will be fixed in a subsequent software update.

they most likely do have the rear cam (the cam itself appears to be quite flaky so sometimes the feed cuts, but I have not seen this particular failure scenario lately so perhaps they fixed it at least on hw2.5).Thanks, that's good to know...I assume they actually have the rear facing camera then?
Anyway, no, the accident was quite minor, thankfully.
