I'm using Nexus10 and today's phablet image.
I wanted to make a 5 minute video recording. Everything seems to go ok, until I hit the stop recording button. The camera app appears to freeze. The "mediaserver" process continues processing in the background. Waiting for this to complete (>5 minutes again), I get a file in the Videos directory, but when I try to play it on my laptop I get:

Works fine for quick videos (<1 minute anyway).
Device has plenty of available disk space.
No idea what causes that.
But as a work around the max file size and/or max duration could be set to avoid corrupted videos (would need support for it in hybris as well).
