  Set your resolution to the smallest available and quality to lowest and you can get 2 hrs or so in video filming on a 1 G mem stick.

  Depends on what format your digicam is recording on... If mpeg4 format, it's about 45 minutes... If mov format, it's about 60 minutes...
  
  Another factor to consider is the resolution of your video clip recording... The higher the resolution, the lesser the recording time...

  If set to real player format, you think can go to 2 hrs?

  Hmm... Don't think it can... Tried mov format recording on a Kodak CX330 digicam, only lasted about an hour of recording with low resolution...

  If considering second hand videocam, get a JVC as it's easier to get any spares...
