But what is the slicing of recordings good for when writing to SDXC cards? They use ExFAT, thus files can get much bigger than any existing SDXC card.

Do you know why Panasonic chose to slice the files into pieces, anyway?

And do you think that the hacked firmware could just avoid to open a new file after 4GB (for people using SDXC, only)?

(BTW: BluRay disks use the UDF filesystem, and there files not only can get but are in fact often much bigger than 4GB - so "compatibility to BluRay players" cannot be the issue, here.)
