Amazon says this 4.7 GB disc records up to 2hrs. I have a 1.16 GB video that’s 2hrs + 20mins long. Will this disc record the entire video?

You would need to conpress your movie thru DVD Shrink or Nero program and you may loose a tiny bit of quality but then it would fit on the normal 4.7dvd disc. The other way would be to download the movie in an AVI format and use the DEVE program to convert it to an ISO file that would then fit on the DVD disc....both methods will make your movie fit the 4.7G DVD disc and play the entire movie

You'll need to convert the movie to a proper DVD format such as VOB for the file to be playable via a DVD/Bluray player. That is based on size not length. So for example a 3 hour movie could take up only 4 gigs on a disc. A program such as ConvertXtoDVD along with the k-lite mega codec pack will do this just fine.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that you can record up to 2:40:45 using the standard (SP) quality setting. Even using a double layer disk, you can only get about 2 hours and 13 minutes at the high quality (HQ)setting. For most DVDs the SP setting on the 4.7GB disk looks great.

Yea, 32 GB shouldn't be an issue, but make sure it's class 10 so it's fast enough to record. Your record time will depend on a lot of stuff... straight run, open and shut, on and off. Hard to calculate. It isn't "really" long though. Sorry, can't be precise.

Hi, Eric...that would depend on how large a memory card you have :-) I have an 8Gb SD memory card in mine & I have taken over 7 minutes of video with it & never ran out of space. I haven't pushed it beyond that point but have read in reviews that the average time you can video in 1080p with an 8Gb card is 22 minutes. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. :-(

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

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

You can, but you'll need a lot of space. With 32 GB recording at the highest video quality, you can record around 9-10 hours. But I think that the camera will stop recording after around 2.5 hours because that's what happened to mine the one time I actually was recording that long. Otherwise, I usually record around 40-60 minutes, and the camera always stays on during that time.

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

So if I wanted to record a program that's longer than 2 hours (DVD length) I could record directly to the DVD at, say, Long Play mode? Or I could record to HDD at LP mode so I could burn a DVD later? It does make sense to burn at the recorded speed; thanks for the hint! Thanks for the help!

I would like to know also as sometimes when I record over 1 hour and 17 minutes it will not copy it do a cd; if smaller it will. So I have learned to stop at that point and start new recording if you want to transfer to a cd.

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.

I see your question was answered. I just wanted to add that I do believe the max size is 32 gb and the recommended speed is class 4. So that's what I got and it works great. I think that loops for 8 hours or so, which is plenty of time to download the video if needed to keep them.

There are two recording session lengths 5 Min and 10 min. Default is 5 Min. So after the first 5 minute session it will close that file (#1) and start a new session file and close it after 5 minutes (#2 file) and so on. When 32 GB is reached -which is after about 9.5 hours- the camera will go back and write over the # 1 file, then #2 etc. So you can look back up to about 9.5 hours..

This all depends on how you record. I'm recording continuously from a pair of DCS-932L cameras at 640x480 "medium quality" MJPEG with Audio at 12-15 frames per second and it seems like my 1TB drive will hold about 8 days of video before it starts overwriting the oldest video. If my cameras supported h.264 encoding rather than MJPEG, it would hold quite a bit more, I believe. The resolution, framerate, and audio all play into how much space the video takes up. If I only had one camera, or was only recording on motion-activation events (rather than continuously), it would probably take over a month before it rolled over. So the short answer is "it depends", but there's my experience.

I am using a 16 gb card and get about 4 hours of video before it starts recording over again. I would imagine a 32 gb card would give you almost 8 hours. I am recording at 1080 30fps. I haven't tried other resolutions but you should expect a bit longer record time even at higher fps.

It is capable of recording at 24 fps and 30 fps for regular MP4 files for regular DVDs. It can also record at the above mentioned 60 fps, but will need to be transferred to Blu Ray DVD if that is your intention.

Really not sure, I have a 32GB card in mine, I never tried a 64GB. In case it matters, with my 32GB card installed and the camera set on motion detection I can record from 7 am till 5 pm and uses 3.11GB. Here is some info from my first time using it, I had 69, 5 min recordings at aprox 43,000KB on avg. So the total of 69 five min files was 3.11GB. I would estimate .54GB per hour. So a 32 GB card should hold approx 59.25 hours of video and audio. Hope this helps
