I've found that my recordings are getting clipped at 27:17mins or 3.67GB. Can someone explain?
Thx,

The maximum size of a file in the FAT-32 filesystem they're using is ~ 4 Gb, so they end a clip then and start another. It should be seamless, although at the moment it fails a significant fraction of the time. I record at 1080 p @ 30 fps and my clips are 23:56 in length. When the transition fails, I get a zero length clip following a full one.
Don't have a VIRB but it might not be seemless like some other camera's.
The RoadHawk Ride creates an overlap of 9 frames to ensure everything is recorded, just in case of an accident.
The previous camera a Drift X170 had a 2 seconds gap, the time it took to put the recorded video from internal memory onto the SD-card.

Well, when it works there's no indication that there's a transition from clip to clip, at least nothing that I can see in the video. They may be doing something like you suggest. The problem at the moment is that it doesn't always work, and the camera gets screwed up at the transition, so data is lost because the only thing you can do is force a restart.

What is the speed class rating for the card you have?
Class - Minimum performance
Class 2 - 2 MB/s Class 4 - 4 MB/s Class 6 - 6 MB/s Class 10 - 10 MB/s
Class 2 for SD video recording Class 4 and 6 for high-definition video (HD) to Full HD video recording, Class 10 for Full HD video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills UHS Speed Grade 1 for real-time broadcasts and large HD video files

Class 10 32 Gb. I've tried two different cards, a SanDisk and a Sony. The Sony worked marginally better; the first problem didn't occur until 1:37 out of a 1:58 ride, and I captured about 1:55 of video (lost most of the GPS data). But the clip transition failed at some point on both, so I don't think it's the card. If I remember right, the SanDisk is rated at 30 Mb/s, and the Sony at 40.
