Has anyone tried setting the TF Card as the default storage location and tried to see what the maximum length for a video recording is?

I just got my v3m today and will put a 60min concert on the TF. I'll let you know what happens.

I dont have the v3m but it's probly same as the 815 3min. just a gess

Thanks Pheyd, that would be awesome. Even if it is 3min, thats not too bad (especially compared to 10 - 15 seconds)

With the verizon UI on the v3c you can get up to 5min. with a seem edit .Not sure if that works on the v3m

I'm hoping to avoid doing seem edits whenever I first get the phone. Maybe I can workup the cajones a couple months after i get the phone to do a little hackin.

haha that's like the opposite of me..
the first day i got mine i went home and did3 seems..
but yeah to each their own i guess

It's a 1:55 minute concert 24-7 Spyz CBGB. The file is 86.4 MB 3gp copied to 512MB TF took 20 mins to copy. It shows the entire minutes in the video player. So far it plays as expected. I will post pictures after the BB game.

The default maximum recording using the phones camera no matter where you record to, phone or Transflash is 15 seconds on the v3m. A very simple seem change can increase it to almost any amount of time. I set mine to four minutes.

WHOA. Thanks Pheyd. So the only limit to the video size is the space available on the TF Card. I think I'm gonna get the V3m tomorrow

Given 2Hrs of video is only about 100MB you can get 10 full length movies on a 1GB TF card. The only down side is no chapter markers.

I also successfully edited the arcconfig.ini file, setting it to '180', as my microSD is pretty much maxed with my music library.

I know we're in new territory here, but has anyone ever attempted to find a way to fix the resetting counter issue? (Timer goes to 59, resets to 0, and does not increment the minutes as it keeps recording.)

could some please post the seem edit to extend the video time.

-Extended Video Duration-
Connect your phone to your pc via USB. Open Bitpim. (or P2Kcommander) Go to Filesystem Tab Navigate to brew/mod/arcmedia Right click on arcconfig.ini file and Save it to your desktop Edit the file using notepad or any text editor (Find the line VidDuration and change the number to 120) Save the file In bitpim right-click on arcconfig.ini file and choose Overwrite. Pick the file from your desktop. After it overwrites, close bitpim, unplug phone, and thats it.

When recording video, the counter will go to 00:59, then 00:00, and it will keep going untill it reaches 00:00 2 times.

Four Minutes (setting VidDuration to 240) Takes up about 2.5 MB on your card, so if you do the math, you could set it long enough to record for hours, and still have room on a 1 GB card.

i opened bitpim. i don't see the filesave nav. what am i doing wrong? also, i tried to copy the phonebook on the phone but bitpim thinks i have a v3cont a v3m. is there something i need to do?
