I am gearing up to work on a blog requiring 1 or 2 videos per month. The main camera rig will be overhead facing down to record my wifes scrapbooking techniques. In order to bypass the 20 minute barrier, we will be capturing live view via hdmi from a d5100 with custom firware for clean display. The capture device is a blackmagic design intensity shuttle for usb 3.0 feeding into our macbook. This is a complex setup to get by a 20 minute recording barrier, and to controll the recording remotely. I can mod the firmware to delete the 20 minute barrier, but not the 4gb barrier. Live view outputs 1080i or 720p. If I were to record at 720p, I might gbe able to fit the recordings under 4gb. But, is there a way to remotely trigger recording. Focus would be nice too.
