I too am in a position of needing to record 2 hour lectures, hour-long interviews, and 1.5 hour musical recitals and it would be very useful if I could use my 700d to do it. Is this something that can happen in ML? is it being worked on?
What exactly causes this limitation? clearly the 700d spans 4gb files pretty easily, and yet recording still stops at 29.9 minutes...
I'm aware of the European legal reasons that canon would choose to do this, but I'm in America and not governed by those tax laws and thus I feel perfectly justified in my want to circumvent such a trivial limitation. - is there something I'm not getting as far as a possible technical limitation? I have a 128GB sdxc card that allows for a consistent 40MB/s write speed. (I believe the 1080p/30 h.264 encoding only uses about ~6MB/sec so there shouldn't be any issues there) which means, even if i rounded up to 10 to make the math easy, I should be able to store a good 3.5 hours AT LEAST.
If this is a technical problem, could someone please outline it for me so I can understand it better?
Thank you!
