# TODO: Statistical analysis of file duration
# On average, how far back do my recordings go? 2 months?
# While the oldest video file could give an idea of how back I currently go, it would be better to use p99 average bitrate.
# If you know the average bitrate, you can use the current space occupied by all files to estimate the total duration you could store on the drive.
# Then, if you can estimate the daily recording duration on average, you can estimate how many days back you can record on average.
# Additionally, since this script removes files, it might be better to use the 'full size' of the disk to estimate maximum duration capacity (minus 1GB).
