I have a Cobra DMC300, which is an exact copy of that camera (well, one of them is a copy) :), and there isn't any setting for length of filming -- they're pretty much keep shooting until battery or memory has run out. I have noticed that an excessive jar, from a crash for example, can shut the camera off prematurely which also seems to kill/lose the video it was taking completely. You might want to make sure the camera isn't getting jarred around too much. Other than the jarring problem, mine stays on till my SD card fills up or I shut it off. Good luck!
