4k Mini always splits videos

Hello all. My 4k Mini always splits videos into 2 videos. No matter the length. If it's a 24 minute flight I'll have a 20 minute video and a 4 minute video. If it's an 8 minute flight I'll have 2 four minute video. I could understand if it was reaching a file size limit and cutting off but it does it on every flight and every video. It's like it knows when it's 3 or 4 minutes from home and splits the video. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben.

The duration of the video segments will depend upon the chosen video resolution and frame rate. You will still have to assemble them if they are parts of one video, regardless of how they are split.

My video resolution is how it came stock. I haven't changed anything. It looks like if it can take a 20 minute video then it could take an 8 minute video without chopping it up. I've been using the DJI editor to splice them together so it's not really a problem. Just never seen anything be able to take a longer video but chop up short ones for no reason.

whenever you press the “stop recording” button then the video will end and the size will be whatever length from since you hit the “start” button so that could be anywhere from a 1 to 20 minute video meaning you’ll get various sizes. If you allow the video to run forever, then they should be all roughly the same size except the last one.
