When I start recording a video it only last for about a minute.

The camera limits the maximum length of a single HD clip to 20 minutes. In some parts of the world video cameras are taxed at a higher rate than still cameras, where "video camera" is defined as a camera that can record longer than 20 minutes in a single clip. By limiting the recording to 20 minutes or less the camera can be priced lower.

When was the last time you saw a movie with a single shot that lasted longer than 20 minutes? Movies are almost always comprised of shorter clips edited together.

Resolution plays a part in the size of the video.
Avi takes up a lot of space.
Try any program that can save in mp4.

Check if your memory is full either phone memory or your memory card and check if where your recorded video will be stored after recording. either the phone memory or memory card if any of them is already low in memory space you really can't start video recording if you don't have enough memory for you to store the video you want to record..Hope it will help you.

While on video mode press options and select settings. Scroll down to Video quality and change to High or Normal. On Memory in use, select memory card. The length of video recording is restricted by the available space on your memory card and up to one hour per clip.

No. Generally finalising just writes the unused spaces as unused so the player knows and adds a stop code. The shorter the DVD the longer the finalise. An hour and a half on two hours is plenty of space.

Hi,
   Just delete unuseful data from drive or connect the camrea to your pc cut the required movie and paste it on your pc drive then it will work.

Thanks for using fixya.

usually it will go back and show the time once you actually start recording. If that is not the case then you should format the storage folder on the device to ensure it was properly deleted.


Thanks,
Nate

This could be your memory card going bad. Recommend trying a "low level" format of the card to see if that jump starts it. First download all images and videos as the format will erase them from the card. Next press the menu button and select the settings (tools) menu. Go down to the format option, and press the "Func Set" button. Make sure "Low Level" format option is checked before selecting OK. After you format the card, try the video to see if the problem is fixed. If the above didn't help, recommend trying a different card.

Do you mean voice or video recording......

whichever it is your problem maybe because of the fact that some players have only a certain limt of space alloted for recording.for example:in a normal 1 gb player with voice recording function only about 28 hrs(approx. 128 MB ) of voice can be recorded....even if there is plenty of space left in the player the player will not record voice once the full 28 hrs has been used................This recording facility can be reused by deleting the old recorded files.....

Hope it helps

Sounds like your DVR is running out of space try to free up some space on the DVR.Also there is a little bit of space at the end of the show after it prompts you to delete the show not much though.If you have plenty of space on the DVR simply increase the time it records by 3 minutes.that should take care of your problem.
