I'm looking at a fairly well lit test file (without too much motion,
and on a tripod) that is 12:59 minutes long at 3.73 Gigabytes (using
some 4Gig cards I have). Another darker clip of the same scene is
12:52 for the same filesize (might just be natural variability).
So, looks like I could push towards 14 minutes before hitting the 4Gig
cutoff.
