recording time

I am wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to extend the video recording time on the k-30. It always stops at 25 minutes even at the lowest setting, but if I'm in the video setting it says I have 99 minutes available. Would it work if I set it to the interval recording for the period of time I need? I am recording a presentation for the completion of my Masters degree and the presentation is around an hour, that's why I want to extend it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

On the K-30, the max video file size is 4Gb. The camera doesn't support automatic video continuation, unfortunately, so you will have to stop recording and then start again.
