Hero6 records video in 15 minute increments

[royaldive42205]

Just bought GoPro Hero 6. I perform science shows and bought camera to record my shows. But the GoPro records for 15 minutes or so and then starts a new file so the recording in not congruous. How can I record my hour long show in one video recording? Thanks!

You'll need to merge the files together with an editor. If you don't have one already, here are some to take a look at and try (all are free):

@royaldive42205  What setting did you try that got you 15 minutes I love to  get 15 min chapters.

Well, i try constructive answer. It might be split because of 4GB chunks (if card is formatted to FAT32 or if it is done regardless the FS.

4000 ÷ (15*60) • 8 is 35 Mbps

Yes 3.84gb (4gb) files  and  bit rate all playes a role

That’s interesting... hadn’t thought about that though I’m pretty sure I formatted my card the first time I loaded it into my GoPro. Will give that a try.
