My guess is Samsung cannot permit access to any source code/firmware that would enable extending video recording time limits because these limits are in place due to Governmental Trade restrictions.

Doesn't that only restrict them from extending it themselves?

If Samsung is restricted, I am sure they would avoid letting others circumvent the restriction.

I don't see how it would keep them from releasing sources code at all. Anything they're holding back would be for other reasons (algorithms they don't want out or that they're licensing from 3rd parties, things like that).

Also another concern for me is my NX300 would get hot after multiple videos, one after the other.

Would a single block of 2 hours be worse than 4 consecutive 30s? While it does get warm I

I'm talking Hot, not warm.

think there would be another restriction besides just the time of a single capture if the heat was a problem. Also there are internal temperature sensors and accompanying code for temperature management. There are other changes to video that may be less safe, but I think this one pretty much has the green light.

For you to expend all of this thought, energy, research and time toward the NX300, you must be pleased with the videos it captures.

I can't speak for him, but I'm quite pleased with them, better than any other video capture I've had my hands on.

I am looking for the OP's response.

If this is the case, I suggest a possible solution is to get two NX300's and when one clip's time limit nears, turn on the other. At the price point the NX300 offers this is a viable solution imo.

Your budget is bigger than mine then, lol, not at all viable for me right now. Also, maybe he enjoys the tinkering anyway. I know I like messing with this stuff.

Not nesscessarily, I suggested two NX300's as a possible solution.

For the OP to detail his indepth findings as he did I guess he must be a video guy and guess his being a video guy, he has a bigger budget than most of us here.
