Video stops recording after ~17 minutes.

Hi. I wanted to see if there is a way to change some setting so that when I'm recording video it doesn't just stop. It always seems to happen at about 17 minutes in, give or take. I record stuff live is why I ask, and the phone's small and convenient so it's not a big deal, but I don't want any cuts in it. Could it be that the phone is going to sleep or something? Looking for a solution.

Assuming you are recording to the memory card, a possible explanation is that if the card is in Fat32 format it limits file sizes to 4GB, which depending on the video settings and what is being recorded is about 10-20 min. As for a solution, sorry, I only know about this due to seeing discussions on my photography forums.
