Based on your experience. I'm looking to record in 1/3 and 5 minute segments. How big is each segment in size (MB wise)?

FYI only, I received a used unit with a dead battery. Not recommended,period.

IDK because the thing came out the box broken. The usb plug it came with doesn't fit right. I'll tinker with it later, cause I see a solution online, but I don't recommend this product.

I can't say but I used a 16gb card and it was fine. However, this car camera broke after a few months. Not worth buying in my opinion. My previous one lasted a year. I finally bought a nicer camera that attaches to the rear view mirror. Very nice. Hope it lasts.

It will record until the card is full. Once the card fills up it starts to record over and delete the oldest segments. The amount of space each 3 minute segment depends on the video quality and audio setting being turned on or off.

5 minute is the longest. It continues recording automatically. Get a good so card.

Standard size SD Card.I am using a 32GB High Capacity SD Card and at 720p 60fps it says I can record almost 6hrs.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

The size of the memory stick that comes with it is 3.68gb (formatted). The recordings are 600,160kb long (I guess so you can copy them to CDR's for storage purposes ... not a bad idea actually). The duration of a 600,160kb recording is 30 minutes and 5 sections - you can record for longer but it breaks up the files into that size. A 30 second clip takes up 9,376 kb space. SO ... 3.14 hours. The memory card could be replaced with another card if more time is needed. It doesn't compress based on how much actions is going on. So you will use as much memory recording a still image as a full motion image. Also doesn't do motion activated recording. My most recent usage of it I recorded about 50 minutes of video, I ended up with that 600,160kb file and another file around 500,000kb long.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)

I record kids reading at a regular recording level. A 5 minute recording is 4.6MB.

for me, a 3 minute clip at 1080p takes about 340 MB of space so you're looking at around 4.5 hours of video with 32 GB of storage before it starts recording over the oldest file.

Dear Stephen, I gave your question serious thought. I even searched the web for a proper answer. Its best to contact Sony's technical dept. They will ask you for the type of recorder, model, speed etc. Regards, George Ejdaharian

No Sir..... It records to a micro SD Card. I recommend the 8 or 16GB size..................

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.

Not sure what the question really is. I'll assume: "What is the maximum recording time?" At the highest bitrate setting, you will chew through cards at the rate of about 27gb / hour. You also have the relay recording feature, so the two card slots in relay with 64gb cards gets you nearly 5 hours at the highest bitrate. Of course, you can always get more by trading down on the bitrate. Not sure if that was your question, though.

I personally only use it to record for about 4 hours a day so I believe you can get about 12 hours of video on a 32 gb card and then it will record over automatically...You don't have to erase anything..

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

Depends on chosen audio quality, music or talk, number of tracks. However, one user statement claims: Sep 6, 2010 - 9 posts - &#8206;6 authors "Hey guys, Just wondering how long would i be able to record with a 16Gb ... A: 5 megs per minute per channel at 44.1/16. it's just about the same at 48 and 1/2 again more for 24 bit. At 48/24 stereo I get just under an hour a gig." www.dvxuser .com

You can record up to 8 hours with a 32 GB card. If you download it to your computer you do not have to erase it. When you record up to 32 GB it will randomly delete files from the first 5 per cent recorded.
