Title: Loop recording 4Gb
Post by: gerk.raisen on June 28, 2012, 09:07:41 AM
Hello,

I think it would be nice to have a feature to enable the possibility to continuos loop recording in the 4gb limit
It can be useful in a large amount of situation from wildlife to many other case where you hunt something.
If is not technically possible to overwrite from the beginning a file maybe we can arrange this workaround:

Implement a time interval after that ML start a new file and delete the oldest (can keep more than one)

example:
overwrite time: 10 min (or the maximum in the 4GB limit)
keep files: 2


When you start recording this will happen:

[ML actions]
rec on
create file1 and record up to min 10:00
create file2 and record from 10:01 to 20:00
create file3 and record from 20:01 to 30:00
delete file1
create file4 and record from 30:01 to 40:00
delete file2
create file5 and record from 40:01 to 50:00

and so on.

I hope is clear enough to understand.

Thanks.
