Hello all.
i have been using this script for the past little while to shoot multiple 9:50min movies (max is 10 mins) on my ixus 120, and everything has been working fine, until recently, it began to stop shooting more than, say, two or three videos, even though i am using a 16gb card (80 mins of video), and the battery had not died. When i came back to the camera, about an hour after i had strated the script, the lens was out, and the display was off (the camera was still on). I hav never had this problem before.
using firmware 1.01a, and CHDK build 1291.
Here is the script:
@title MultiMovie
@param x one part time in sec
@default x 590
f=0
print "record will start..."
press "shoot_half"
sleep 1500
:new
f=f+1
press "shoot_full"
release "shoot_full"
if f=1 then release "shoot_half"
print "file number: ";f
s=get_time 0
m=get_time 1
h=get_time 2
d=get_time 3
b=s+m*60+h*3600+d*3600*24
:loop
s=get_time 0
m=get_time 1
h=get_time 2
d=get_time 3
t=s+m*60+h*3600+d*3600*24
u=t-b
print "file number: ";f
print "time left:";x-u
if u>x then goto "reload"
sleep 900
goto "loop"
:reload
print "reloading..."
press "shoot_full"
release "shoot_full"
print "waiting for ready..."
:waitloop
q=get_movie_status
if q=1 then goto "new"
print "status:",q
sleep 100
goto "waitloop"
