20 Claims

1. A continuous video capture apparatus, comprising:

a camera;

a capture button; and

video capture circuitry, comprising:

a processor, and

a computer-readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause the processor to:

receive raw video data from the camera;

encode the received video data;

place the encoded video in a buffer at a data end position;

update the data end position to a next available address in the buffer; and

update a data start position to a location corresponding to a predetermined amount of video time behind the data end position,

wherein the capture button is configured, upon receiving a single press, to cause the processor to:

allocate memory to extend the buffer to support an additional predetermined amount of video;

save the current data end position and update it to point to an extended portion of the buffer;

save the contents of an original portion of the buffer to file;

add the contents of the new portion of the buffer to the file;

deallocate the old portion of the buffer; and

send the file to an external device.
