Sony "Webbie" MHS-PM1 Firmware Hack

This camera has a recording limit of 25 mins at a time. Does any body know a way to break into the firmware and change this limit??

I too would love to know if there is any way to change the 25 min continuous recording time limit. Hopefully the next model wont have this limitation or hopefully another manufacturer will make a camera simular in size and shape with a tilt lense.

I think you canīt change that, because is not a limitation of the camera itself.
The format of the memory (see fat16, fat32) only allows archives at some weight.
The same thing thats was used to happen in win98, with the hard disk formated in fat.
Think in a 2GB limit per archive.
If you choose the lowest quality at time of shot video, you clearly can see that the time redorded is over 25 min.
Oh, yes, but the quality simply sucks.
Im finding some bend or hack for that camera too. A firmware update will be great.
Because lock the exposure, or turn off the display while recording is not a hardware limitation.
