How big is your memory card? Down load the movie file to your computer to see how big it is. If your memory still has a lot of room left, call Canon ASAP. If they say it needs to be repaired, I think you should return it to the place where you bought it from (if still w/in the return period). If not, you will need to send it to Canon (you pay for shipping w/ insurance).

Unfortunately I do not shoot stills or use HDMI output. I'm strictly high bit rate video using the San Disk extreme pro 64 gb 95 mbs card. (the only reliable card for a hacked GH2) Then off loaded straight to the computer. Sorry I can't be any help.

Try setting your PC monitor's video resolution to it's highest setting (e.g., 1900 x 1200), or try another PC. (Perhaps the video card in your PC can't handle movies well?) For the sharpest videos, you'll need to record at 1080P.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

There are two different low settings.. One is 320x240 regular mode and that will last about 40 hours. The other is the super long record mode. That will work for aproximatly 30 days on a 32 GB card. -Nick at onlineenterprises888

I have the full 1080p selected and it records for about 6 hours and then begins looping

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

In video mode it does record audio-now if I can just get it to work properly

If you play in 720 or 1080 It is not compatible because this DVD recorder is maximum 480p

Dear Patrick, This is from the back of the box: APS-C size sensor; full stereo movie recording (1920 x 1080p) @30fps. Does this help? John

a software called AMCAP which can fully utilize the 130 Mega Pixels. Download from here: http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=video

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Here is a video that I took. It is recorded at 720P. I didn't want to bother with 1080P because I don't think it would have made that much difference and would just chew through hard drive space faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7ZmTy87Vk

Joe, I used handbrake and converted my files to .avi format. Much larger file but the unit required .avi.

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!
