I must add that I was in error when I stated 'recordings in 5 minute chunks with a few seconds lost between each' There are in fact no frames lost between recordings.

Having now used this on Windows I should report that Windows will ask for a webcam driver, but there is none available, however it still functions but at a lower resolution than Linux, which does not ask for a driver & works at the full 1280x720 resolution.
