Video files are broken up into smaller approx. 3 second long files (under 1 MB) instead of 1 larger file with longer video duration. Why?

The firmware may have a limit on file size. If they're all are just under 1MB (~990KB) then I'd think it's definitely the firmware. You can probably change it. Search for system files on the memory card to see if there's a .INI file.

They are an .mpv file and I think they are recorded in a Lynx FS. Also the recording directory is only 4GB and then the rest of the playback partition takes up the rest of the 2TB. I can't remember if I ever tried to play them on a pc.

Video files, even 480, can get very large. E-mail isn't exactly the ideal way to send video. Technically it should work but my workplace, for example, has a 2 mb limit on attached files.

That's because of the bit architecture of the memory card. Like computers, there is a limitation to how long a file can be. Once the file hits the size limit, the camera automatically starts a new file and continues. No worries though, not a single frame is skipped and you'd never know when the video is played. This is normal for most tapeless cameras.

When you say rotate the video files, do you mean rotate horizontally or vertically, or after a certain number of events, delete the oldest and keep the new one?

Since video and audio cover the same event, the only problem in timing should be synchronizing them. I haven't needed to do that yet; but I think most video editors allow you to add sound tracks and synchronize them. Once you have a visual event that matches the beginning or end of an audio event - like somebody starting to talk - you can line them up, and then the whole files will be synchronized.

Thank you very much for the tip. I have a question though. Vimeo allows to e-mail up to 500Mb which is about 1 min of video. Is there a way to e-mail larger files (3 min of video is about 800Mb)? Is there any good way to compress a video and keep a half-decent quality? (I tried Windows movie maker and the result is below poor).Thank you very much

the stills have a taken on when you cursor the image. but the videos just have a length unless you go to properties then it has a created on etc.

It does 3 minute files by default, there r settings to change the default file length, There is no gap between files if u play them together with a computer, all your driving will b there :)

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.

I tested an mp4 and it plays them. though I don't know what encoding was used

How long you can record is based on how much storage space you have divided by the file size. The higher the quality the more space it takes per frame."How many hours of uncompressed video on 1 Terabyte disk?Answer: An hour of standard video takes up about 1GB, while an hour of high-definition video sucks up 4GB"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_hours_of_uncompressed_video_on_1_Terabyte_disk

Its all of the camera companies. Apparently the .mov format has better quality and compression.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

This is a NO BRAINER......... If you look at the size of the video file ??? then play the video ????? you can figure this out....example.....video size is 40gb ----- play time is 100 min... 40/100=.4gb per min ... so 4gb = 10 min... Got it????

I am having issues also. WMP doesn't recognize the files, KMPlayer plays audio and video but they are out of sync (video is too slow), Quicktime plays audio and video but the video is "jerky" and not as smooth as it should be, VLC was only playing the audio. I'm running out of things to try. -_-
