At highest quality, how many hours worth of video recording can it support?

At 25FPS, 720P, and a bitrate of about 3.2 (just for estimates, I think this cam can go higher), a 32GB card looks to get about 22 hours of time. If you set it to only record motion, you'll get even more use out of it. Even at a higher bitrate, you are looking at about 14 hours. Bumping it up to 30FPS will reduce this, or you can drop it below 25FPS for more time.

According to the manual:The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. Themaximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time ismore than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video fileis created automatically.

According to the manual, "The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically." This is probably to allow use of video from this camera with older DOS FAT-16 and FAT-32 file size limitations.

I dont know the answer to that question as my Dvr video camera broke before i could even record my first videoI know for the price i paid i wasnt getting a long term camera, but i think it should last long enough to use at least a few times before it had to be thrown away. BEWARE OF THIS CAMERA, ITS A PIECE OF JUNK.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

I am sure when you start the video recording mode, it says some where on the screen that the limit is 25 minutes.

Does anyone have an answer because I'd like to use it to record concerts and sometimes they can go upwards to 2- 2 1/2 hours long

I don't use it for video, but listning to MP3's, I get a lot of hours, I would imagine at least 8 if not more, I've never really timed it. I've been very happy with how long it lasts.

Its max card size is 8 gigs. Not sure if that's enough space to record 24 hours, as I'm not sure how to adjust the resolution.

It genuinely depends on how you use it. Lower quality video extends battery life. That being said I'm usually good for about 3 hours +/- .5 hours. I really do like this camera but I'm not a highly technical person. For my purposes (documentation) it is good enough.

On a fully charged battery you can record a movie for 1 hr. 20 minutes, but with a battery pack or some other means of continuous power you can record high quality at 1 hr. 4 min. and up to a maximum of 3 hr. 14 min. (but at a lower quality) as mentioned in the owners manual page 266.

depending on what your using the camera for you can get up to two hours but I would buy a couple extra batteries to be able to switch out and keep shooting video.

I don't think so, but it does over an hour worth of video which is very good quality!

it depends on what you are using to record with. As an example: from the DVR attached to my TV I can record up to 8 hours of video on a DVD; using the software on my PC I can't record more than 4 hours of video on a DVD.

Will the battery last long enough to use a 16GB card and record 3 hours of 1080p footage, or 3,000 10mp pictures?

Hi Doowon, there is no capacity limitation for recording movies. If you are pertaining to 2GB limit per file, this is a normal operation and the movie would be divided. The maximum continuous recording time for the unit is 13 hours. Thanks_Mitch
