    so i went to a concert the other night and took a few videos in 1080 and in the middle of the 5th one it stopped recording stating the the memory was full. I stopped and the next day i transferred all the video and pictures to my computer and erased the ones ln the playbook. i am still getting thenmessage with 9 gb left. what gives?

    16gb device? 64gb? when the error popped up, what did it say exactly? (ie. was it a storage full or an out-of-memory error)
    Did the video stop recording, and it was just truncated, or did you lose the video entirely?
    1GB should last about 8.5 minutes at the default 1080p video bitrate.

    Curious if you are still having the problem.. if so, you should check the "free memory" figure in the settings->about->hardware page. Does it start decreasing as your video is recording? Is it low to start with? You can also see free storage on that page.
    Does the problem go away if you reboot the device?

    On my 16gb device running 1.0.1.1690, I notice I have 306MB memory free when recording 1080p and when I stop recording, it jumps back up to 431MB. Will run some extended tests. Is this the same situation for you?
    Did you by any chance have other apps open at the time? Bridge enabled? etc.

    FYI, I just reproduced this problem after about 5 minutes of recording at 1080p. Memory usage seemed steady. Started another recording and it's now up to 6 minutes, so it doesn't seem consistent.
    Will follow-up...

    I can easily reproduce this.
    I start recording with about 12.7GB free and get the "Device full" error after about 530mb is recorded. Disk free shows 12.2GB. Starting a new recording after this point didn't run into the same problem. Will leave it running to see if it happens again or if the device fills up all the way.

    Will forward details to the appropriate folks.
