Does starting and stopping filming cause you to have a new file every time you do start and stop or do you have one large file?

Yes starting and stopping will result in a new file. This allows you to name each scene for easier production, remember you want short scenes 10-12 seconds. You can always piece together in your editor software and transition to a new scene. The other option is to keep the camera filming and cut out the section you don't want, but this waste battery and storage space.

Yes, you can rewind and record over a section, but be careful not to record over subsequent sections of your previous recording that you want to keep. And yes, there are multiple folders and files. Each time you hit the stop button that recording terminates. When you then Hit record again, it creates a new file. So, to stay within your current recording file and not create another, use the pause button.

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

No. The file would be too large. The system over writes the old ones once full. This enables you to keep a record longer.

no, it creates a new video file for every block, it will just tell you memory full when you run out of memory it will not delete anything.

Yes, but new file created each time. Pause left on too long camera goes off.

I have it set to record over when it runs out. You can copy it off to a computer or DVD and then start over. The more you have it set to record the more data it records. Mine is set to come on at each camera when there is movement on that camera 24/7. You decide how each is to record. You also can have it email you when getting full

no...once the unit is full you have to delete items first to record again....that is if the unit works...my unit has already failed and will no longer record. considering the price of the unit I would not waste your money buying this particular unit

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

You mean the SD card storage? if the SD card storage is full, it will automatically covering the earily recording file,the recording continues.

It records continuously. If the space runs out it rewrites over the oldest file.

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

The camara makes files of 1 or 2 or 3 min video, when the memory is full, he writes over these files. In case you do want to save something, you can push a button to prevent overwriting.

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

Yes and 3 min segments are suggested. The camera will created a new video every 3:01 (One second of overlap) and erase the oldest video file and start over when card becomes full.

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.
