Am I being dense here? Couldn't you simply get a different camera that doesn't have the "lose the video if power lost" feature? Your camera apparently uses some sort of RAM cache to store video while filming and only actually writes that video to the CF card after it finishes.

The digital camera we have also shoots video and it writes to the card on the fly. if I run down the battery during filming, it keeps all of the recording up to the point power is lost.....

Seems like a second battery and its weight is a band-aid for a video camera issue....

Just a thought....
