I'm worried about the 4gb file size limit. How long can you normally record with it? I'll generally be hooked up to a DJ booth or mixer for weddings

This depends on your sample rate and de bith depth but for a recording of WAV 16Bit/ 44.1kHz a 2GB recording makes it 6hrs 45min recording. I find it enough. A stereo on the same format will last 3H 22min A 24Bit 48kHz on stereo will last 2h04min

I've used on all day shots (8-10 hours of shooting), with everything set to top quality, and never come close to filling up the SD card.

I do not know if it works because I never buy larger than 64 GB. I use 1 X 64G and 3 X 32 GB. I can record about 3hrs on 32GB and 6hrs on 64GB is all you need for a baptism, a wedding or other shooting.

The VP83F doesn't come with a microSD card, so the audio recording time depends on the size of card you purchase. According to the user guide (pg.8) it uses ~1 GB every 2hrs of recording time, so a 16GB card will hold about 32hrs of audio.

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

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.

I'm not sure if there is a limit in terms of memory card storage capacity. However I use 2 64G Sandisk & I can record

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

I think the "recommended" max is 16GB (and 8GB for certain kinds of music file formats), but I've seen posts from users who've exceeded the OEM "recommended" size with no problem. I use a 16GB card ... zero problems. However, if you're inclined to try a larger card, I'd stop at 64GB.

Yes, and depending on what software you can record at least 2 tracks. No problem...

Hey Adam! I have done a bit of "digital audio recording" myself on Logic Express 9. I have managed to do this on an early 2008 white macbook (2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, and a 120 GB 5400 rpm). I ran into a few problems with the hard drive being to slow and the application crashing because I didn't have enough RAM. Though I never ran into problems with the processor, and there is a reason for this. Recording software doesn't rely on the processor as much as it does the RAM and hard disk speed. A 2.4 GHz i5 is plenty for your needs. The things you should pay attention to are RAM, which this computer has 4 GB of (unless you are recording/mixing more than 7 or 8 tracks this will be plenty). It is expandable to 16 gb, which is probably enough RAM to handle time travel. And the hard drive speed...which if you manage your computers files well, and don't let it get all bogged down like a ...*gulp* WinDoWs ComPuTRe...then you will be ok ;). Basically what im getting at is that the i5 model will work just fine n' dandy, and as for the i7? You would just be buying a higher capacity, graphically faster (video games, videos, making shapes with the mouse pointer, the list goes on) laptop that has a better resale value. Hope this helped. -Andy

If you recorded on this pen with a full charge until it died, you would have just under 4GB of recorded material. I would recommend transferring the recordings to a computer and wiping the card out before the next use. There's always the risk of corrupting the videos if you leave it on the card. I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but I thought if you knew some of the details, is might help you decide on the card size. Cheers!

I cannot definitively say. The bit rate and obviously the length of recording will greatly affect the size. Typically, I record at a 128bit rate. Example, I have a 7min recording, @128bit, and it is 6300kb.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)
1510980
Maybe this can help you. Don't know the size for one hour but for 4 hours it was 219 MB. The recorder creates a .WAV file with a bitrate of 128 kbps, 4 bit, 16 hz.

I have an 8 GB and it is set to record motion. It picks up movement 20-30 times or more a day and it records for 2 minutes at a time. It takes a long time for it to fill up my 8. And it's very simple to save it to a computer if you need. That's another option.

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

The 32gb card will last about 5-6 hours before it gets overwritten. The loop setting of 1/3/5 mins decides the size of the recorded file. Thanks.
