I'm just learning to get around in LapTimer Pro (v15) and I have an odd question. I may have missed this, but it might be a good feature for a later version.
Anyway, typical DE track sessions are about 20 minutes. Twenty minutes of video is a lot for the iPhone to process (would take the 'Overlay' function 40 minutes). So I'm wondering if there is a way to tell LapTimer to record a set number of laps and then stop video recording automatically?
In other words, set HLT up to record video on 5 laps, get on track, pass the S/F line POI which begins recording automatically and then automatically stop recording when you pass the S/F line after completing lap 5 (or whatever predetermined number of laps).
This would save new drivers like myself from having to manually stop video while on track. For me, at this level, I can't take my concentration off the track to push a button on a iPhone.
I may be the only person interested in such a feature but thought I'd at least suggest it (if it doesn't already exist).
Option to limit number of laps recorded in video.
Re: Option to limit number of laps recorded in video.
Video recording stops automatically when memory is out 
Frankly, I know that video recording on track is a very important topic for most of LapTimer's users. I personally, come from a different direction. Knowing the memory restrictions and having lots of videos I never view, I wrote the following on LapTimer home page (Video documentation):
My 5 cents, and opinions certainly differ.

Knowing the memory restrictions and having lots of videos I never view, I wrote the following on LapTimer home page (Video documentation):Think you get my point. It is about preparing video shots and recording the best. Good photos are not made by pressing the trigger all the timeToday's iPhones come with impressive memory sizes... Nevertheless, recording videos in HD or even FullHD quality will fill up any space very fast. [...] Not only because of this limitation, my personal recommendation is to not go for video recording all the time. You miss a lot of fun and track focus when fiddling around with video. So my suggestion is to train the first half of a track day using standard data/time recording and then video record a trained session only. This give you enough time for a great video.
