Hmm. Looking at the code, it doesn't seem as though it keeps track of the file size at all. So, the 2GB limitation is probably a system-level limitation on the size of individual files. This also means that there isn't any simple way for it to recognize that it needs to close the current file and start a new one (at least without modifying the source code to monitor the file size).

Also it seems motion detection only activates the camera...it doesn't seem to shut off when there's no motion.
Ok, the code does look like it is supposed to stop recording video when motion ceases. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working for you...
