]I believe 30 seconds is the limit of the Nvidia chip used, it probably has a hardware buffer and that's the maximum it can store.[/B] They can't just magically make it record longer without either A. Affecting the system performance or B. A new hardware revision with a bigger buffer.
Recording to either the NAND or an SDCard constantly would significantly reduce their life span which would be an unbelievably stupid move.
There is definitely no buffer that big in the SoC, nor would that make sense given how every other platform implements these solutions (rolling file buffers). Considering the 1GB system RAM they *could* theoretically be reserving ~200MB and doing it in RAM which would massively limit it's room for expansion, but I don't think anyone's done it like that before and costs memory bandwidth. (Curiously, Shield TV has no recent-history record :'( )
