Remember what I said a few days ago about non encoded videos taking a lot of space ?

There is at least 1GB in OS RAM for the video, I think

I can be wrong but the video record uses dedicated hardware... stack RAM.

From what I remembered from my assembly language lessons, stack is only a few kB.

The dedicated hardware part must be a part of the APU with a bridge connecting the GPU so that every Image send trough video out is send to RAM, then every pack of X images are sent back to the GPU (A part of the GPU dediacted to video encoding) and thus the 15 minutes limit is the RAM limit.

That's how I would do it tough, it may not be that way and I probably say shit.

Stack RAM is not stack the way you once learned. It means "on chip" in this context. Actually it's called "stacked RAM".
