Question

Answer 1

You need a larger memory card.

Answer 2

Using the card is your issue.  The camera is running out of recording space and shutting down.  You will need either a MONSTER sized card or a tape......

Answer 3

the problem is not the size of the memory card. like many still cameras, they are not capable of streaming video continuously to memory cards. They first load it into a high speed internal solid state memory for temporary storage which acts as a buffer. When the buffer is full, video recording stops.  The camera then converts the buffer into a proper formatted file and loads on to the memory card.
