Unless I've got this wrong, the 5D records individual clips up to 4GB long (about 12 min. max) without TC and without a mechanism to span clips. That's because the cards are Fat32 format and there is no provision in the 5D to record motion clips in any manner that's different than any other still camera with a movie mode. So, sequentially numbered movie files, just like sequentially numbered still image files. These are 1920x1080 30fps (true 30) progressive frames in the H.264 QT format at about 40Mbps data rate. The best way to treat these files is a lot like 1,000 ft. rolls of 35mm. Shoot double-system and plan in a day to convert and sync. Not unlike process/transfer/syncing dailies.
