Questions about this: Can I make videos that can be stored onto my PC so I can use more than the 60 minutes worth of video?

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

Yes, but if you plan to use battery power, get a larger size battery. It also depends upon the recording resolution. At full HD 60p it will record for more than 3 hours. It lower resolution it can record for more than 12 hours - much longer than your battery.

I don't think that it's vary possible. Because I've read that 1 minute of uncompressed hd video is 10GB of hard disc space. And thats only a minute! So i don't think it's vary possible to record hd video on a mini DV tape or any type of media without compression.

I use 16gb's of various brands. They have capacity for more than four hours of video, which is far more than I have ever needed as I check it every week or so.

Depends on the size of the video. However, most one hour long videos go from 700 megabyte to even more than 1000 megabytes. With that being said, you might be able to watch a 'short' (which has smaller file sizes), but the short answer is, no. You won't be able to watch most of the videos.

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

None, you need an SD card, and however big your SD card is is the amount of video.

YouTube limit has more to do with length of video, which is currently 10 minutes max. In terms of file size I believe you can go up to 1Gb, which is MORE than enough to fill 10 minutes at an acceptable quality level. I wouldn't worry about video quality too much, though. YouTube will convert your vid to about 300kbs no matter what. They might have a high-def YouTube coming out soon.

I do not believe you can but you can use a program like Snap Shot Video Wizard. The removable SD card makes it easy to transfer video to your computer or just use the on board USB connector! Even if you get it done the quality will be low.

You can record as long as you have film. For YouTube, you can only upload up to 15 minute video.

I do not subscribe to this BUT it really is better to have the recordings saved to a home computer using their DVR package that comes with it. You can have it overwrite the files after 24 hours so that space does not run out.

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

Are you asking how to download the video even though it is in segments? If so, I would say, rather than let the computer do the automatic download, try and grab all the individual video clips and put them in a place where you can view them. The video will only record 10 minute segments... if you have a clip longer than 10 minutes, it will automatically be broken into pieces. You will need to use something like Windows Movie Maker to stitch the clips together back into a single long video. Thanks! Good luck!

Yes, you can record a short movie and audio as well. But, it's like 2 minutes.

I did not try that yet but I looked it up. Each disc has 4.7GB storage capacity for storing thousands of digital photos and up to six hours of video. I used them to record my videos and they worked great. I hope this helps.

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format
