(1) Volume Missing

[CherLOVER69]

Does anyone think there is a way to retrieve the missing volume? I guess it's purposefully inaccessible to keep the mystery going. Just don't want it to end!

I hope there's a way to access them! In the second read me it explains that some of the footage was 'possibly' damaged in the flooding.. possibly! Seems to me that it kind of leaves room for possibility of more content.. I hope.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a hidden command or something to get there.

The "missing" volume represents the video you are currently watching, so you can see where the video correlates to the timeline. Imagine each video is a book and the databse is a bookshelf. The missing video is the one currently in your hands.

And it's marked as yellow in the database

Okay, that clears things up. Thanks!

In the readme file it says that the footage is missing with the questions by the police. Maybe that is what is meant by the missing volume.

Disclaimer: I actually work in the tech industry

A database volume is a whole chunk of storage. It probably holds at least one full interview video, if not more.

So we are missing either entire interviews, or pieces of every single interview, such as the police questions.

There is no way that the missing volume could possibly refer to the yellow data block that you have most-recently viewed. That would require the computer to delete it from the database volumes that we do have, store it in memory, then copy it back to disk when the user selects another video. Such database software would be so terrible and technically-wrong as to end up on reddit.com/r/programmerhumor or worse.

It's possible that's the missing volume, although that would be one tiny microscopic volume. Based on what I remember of 1994 video technology, back when I was trying to make Doom run with a smooth framerate, and when Sierra games strained computers to the level that Crysis does today, each volume could be roughly a full CD.

I think you talk about harddisk volumes, not database volumes.

A hard disk volume can be either a whole hard disk, or any arbitratry division or grouping of disks.

Database volumes from before the 2000's are actually not that different.

The point is - a lot of data is missing from the database.
