Well the firmware update has been released, and the POV.1 can use SDHC cards up to 8GB! More information and instructions after the jump.

With the new firmware update you will be able to store large amounts of video on one card. Please be aware that due to the file system used on the POV.1 there are limitations to how long a video can be. You can store as many video files as you want, but they can not be any longer than 4 hours per clip, nor can the files sizes be larger than 4GB.

At full resolution the 4GB file size limit is reached at about 3 hours. For those who are recording an event that lasts longer than 3 hours, you should periodically save your recordings and begin new recordings to avoid missing any of the action. Keep in mind that long clips present a work flow challenge as well. It is difficult to manage such large videos in the editing process. V.I.O. recommends saving shorter clips to help manage the editing and sharing process.

If you do not stop the recording before the 4GB/4Hr limit is reached, the POV.1 will save the video and go into STANDBY mode. To begin recording again you must hit the REC button. The POV.1 will power down from STANDBY mode if you have enabled the “Power Off Timeout” mode in the settings menu or if the battery power has run out.

Storage times at full resolution:

4GB - 169 minutes - 2 hr 50 min

8GB - 345 minutes - 5 hr 45 min

**Update**

As noted in one of the comments below, we have run into an issue with Mac computers and the update. We are working on a fix (the mac puts hidden files on the SD card and they lock up the update). We hope to have a solution up today.
