There is no regulation or rule broken here. The los and 400 foot guidelines are not actually rules or regulations for hobbyist flight.This is why people need to learn how to handle these things. If we don't all start being responsible we WILL lose our privilege and this will all just be a dream that could have happened. Don't fly outside the FAA requirements. They made them for a reason

Is the file a sensible file size for the recording length. Say 1 - 2 GB for 2.7k?Does anyone know why I can't watch my final video? I have it set to auto record. A thumbnail exists with a time of 6:16 but the video will not play on any device.

This is incorrect. The recreational rules (Part 101) require recreational pilots to conform to community based safety standards. FAA on their web site lists some of these guidelines as follows:
Safety Guidelines
Fly at or below 400 feet
Keep your UAS within sight
Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports
Never fly over groups of people
Never fly over stadiums or sports events
Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires
Never fly under the influence
Be aware of airspace requirements
In the U.S. there is no ability to fly out of line-of-site without a waiver from FAA. And for the record, you cannot legally use VR goggles while flying a drone in the U.S. Because visual line-of-site requires normal vision and can't use devices that restrict peripheral vision.
I'm not saying we like these rules (just as I hate having to stop for red lights) but this is what we have to comply with for now.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the FAA Guidelines are exactly that - "Guidelines" which are not enforceable by any officer of the law unlike "Regulations" or "Rules" which are enforceable. I'm not advocating stupidity or trying to poke holes in the letter of the law but aren't guidelines just suggested best practices?
Good summary. Much appreciated.You have to read Part 101 to get the whole context: eCFR — Code of Federal Regulations
Part 101 authorizes model aircraft (and other things like balloons, rockets, and kites) to fly. §101.41 and §101.43 cover model aircraft and give you the legal ability to fly - within those rules. §101.41 is the part with the meat, and it says (emphasis mine):
§101.41 Applicability.
This subpart prescribes rules governing the operation of a model aircraft (or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft) that meets all of the following conditions as set forth in section 336 of Public Law 112-95:
(a) The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use;
(b) The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization;
(c) The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered by a community-based organization;
(d) The aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and
(e) When flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation.
The first part is unambiguous: These are the rules that govern the operation of model aircraft. (b) says that the aircraft must be operated in accordance with the safety guidelines. Therefore, if you don't operate within those guidelines, you aren't operating within the confines of Part 101. Your only other option for a UAS is Part 107, which requires you to be licensed and follow THOSE rules. If you aren't flying under either set of rules, well, you don't have any authorization to fly as no other section of the FAA regulations authorizes it.
No, this is incorrect. FAA Guidelines or Actual Laws?This is incorrect. The recreational rules (Part 101) require recreational pilots to conform to community based safety standards. FAA on their web site lists some of these guidelines as follows:
Safety Guidelines
Fly at or below 400 feet

No part B says "community-based set of safety guidelines". Not the FAA's "guidelines". And the AMA is a community based organization that allows flights over 400 feet per their FAQ.You have to read Part 101 to get the whole context: eCFR — Code of Federal Regulations
