Application request: N minutes video recording loop
 

Hi all and thanks for a great community and forum!

While out driving a few weeks ago, we were nearly hit by a truly mad driver who were speeding on the highway with a car and trailer south of Stockholm.

The event made me think about having some kind of in-car speed camera app in my N9 to record **** like this and I have been thinking about how it should work:

* It should have "segmented" recording, recording videos that are something like 5, 10 or 15 minutes long at a time.

* The previous segment should automatically be discarded when the new one is started, unless the user press a "keep" button while recording or unless the user has previously set some buffer limit that has to be reached before the oldest segment is deleted.

* Time, place and speed should be recorded together with the video, if possible as an overlay.

Does anyone else feel like brainstorming?

Can a developer in the forum estimate the complexity and development time of this app given the functionality I listed above?

And our hacky attempts to workaround this on N900, just for the reference, don't use it:
