Welcome to DCT....What is the general consensus on video length and what length does most use?
there is no real disadvantage of 1 minute.
Yes, it has a save button. And yes, it only saves the current 1/3/5 minute section, so with 5 minutes you do get more chance to save the clip you want.I'm not familiar with this cam. Does it have a save button? Would this save just the current 1 minute section? What if you're a bit slow hitting the save button, and you only save a minute of worthless footage that happens after the critical event?
This is a problem I have with a camera I have fitted now. Several times I've lost interesting footage, even with 5 minute segments. Just got unlucky.
I know in an important event you'd pull the card. But I still see this as a downside, and it makes 1 minute segments a non - starter on that cam.

I started with the 3 min setting but my "luck" dictated that many of the interesting clips I captured usually happened when one clip was ending and the next was starting, meaning it was a PITA having to cut the end of one clip and the beginning of the next one and then joining the 2 segments together again to create a single clip. It didn't take long before I switched to 5 mins. I still get some situations cut in the middle but they're much less.What is the general consensus on video length and what length does most use?

A 10 or 15 mins video footage is not practical to download..., it will take 15 minutes to download 15-mins-long video footage!I often sample video files and generate pictures of tours, kind of like DIY streetview, for mapping on OpenStreetMap. A 10 or 15 minute setting would be great, less work with stitching...
I know that wifi is a bit slow, but I transfer files to my PC anyway and have an sdcard reader for that purpose (or I can bring the camera indoors )A 10 or 15 mins video footage is not practical to download..., it will take 15 minutes to download 15-mins-long video footage!
If it's only 10 or 15 mins that you need you can use continuous recording. Just remember that once the card reach the limit for a single file it won't store any more files.I often sample video files and generate pictures of tours, kind of like DIY streetview, for mapping on OpenStreetMap.

Do you mean that FAT32 Partition Size Limit?If it's only 10 or 15 mins that you need you can use continuous recording. Just remember that once the card reach the limit for a single file it won't store any more files.
I just tried 2 methods of copying files off my B2W memory card using a USB3 card reader,I often sample video files and generate pictures of tours, kind of like DIY streetview, for mapping on OpenStreetMap. A 10 or 15 minute setting would be great, less work with stitching...
If you are using Windows, here is some assistance:Well I need to refresh my ffmpeg and command line skills then, sounds doable, thanks for the input!
set source=E:\CARDV\Movie
set output=_Front.MP4
set files=2019_0531_*_F.MP4
(for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b /o:d %source%\%files%') do @echo file '%source%\%%i') > ~concat_Front.txt
\camera\ffmpeg\ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i ~concat_Front.txt -c copy -y %output%
del ~concat_Front.txt
