Movie mode automatcially stops at 1280 x 720: I should be able to record longer lengths - right???

How big is your memory card? Down load the movie file to your computer to see how big it is. If your memory still has a lot of room left, call Canon ASAP. If they say it needs to be repaired, I think you should return it to the place where you bought it from (if still w/in the return period). If not, you will need to send it to Canon (you pay for shipping w/ insurance).

I takes very nice little mpg movies. I used the standard default setting. I don't think they are full HD (1900 x 1200).

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

On Windows 7 and XP, the default video spanning will take ALL screen space and treat it as one contiguous display. If you run windowed programs, what you suggested should work. I did have it showing a movie on that display while doing other work on my other 2. Hope this helps.

Joe, I used handbrake and converted my files to .avi format. Much larger file but the unit required .avi.

When you download the video your viewer should be able (under info or properties) to show you the resolution - which should be 1280 by 720. if its 720 by 480 you have the standard cam. For now my advice is check because my supplier sent a standard cam as HD - I'm waiting to name names , as I am talking to them fix the problem and it may be an honest mistake.

There is no preset limit. Length of videos are only limited by the available free space on your SD card and the quality/resolution of the video you're taking. (lower resolutions take up less space = longer video) Available resolutions are 1280x720 (HD) and 640x480 (SD).

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

Hi,If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out.If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

I do a lot of recording that is longer than 30 minutes on my Pan-AG-HMC40P using a 32GB memory card. It also breaks the data according to size of data. Don't know if there is a setting to extend the data size or time of recording.

I don't remember exactly, last time when we used it in a long travel, I had my laptop with me to and moved periodically all videos to hard drive. Few hours, may be, but I recorded in low 640x480 res.

Don't believe the automatic setting. You have to pick whatever the movie is recorded in. Could be side by side checkerboard etc.

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

What you are looking for is Zoom2, and I thought as you did that I could 'fix' the set to Zoom2. The funny thing is that Zoom2 stretches the picture a bit, even though it shouldn't.I've since been using Auto and it is fine. It takes a second or two to adjust, but really it is a non-issue for almost all movies out there. The only ones which would be an issue are those which switch from IMAX to Cinemascope like TRANSFORMERS 3, THE DARK KNIGHT, and maybe THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (I haven't seen it yet).

I have the full 1080p selected and it records for about 6 hours and then begins looping
