Your card is not the problem. At 32Gb, that's more than plenty for adding a movie to. Formatting is not the issue either - I'd suggest checking the battery, to see that it's fully charged, and holding the charge. If the battery is in good condition, I'd consider that either you have accidentally nudged a button to stop shooting, or maybe you need to upfate your firmware?.. After that, get in touch with your local Pentax service centre.

size of the card is not the most important factor..what is the write speed on this card? class six card or better?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

1. Is it a 'fast' SanDisk card (eg a class 10) or a slower one. If it's a slower one the camera may not be able to write to it fast enough.I have a Pentax K7 with a 32 GB SanDisk.

2. Does it do that in all resolutions? It should keep going longer at lower resolutions when it doesn't have so much data to write to the card.

I also would like to support the "speed" issue. Play.com have this which may fix the issue:

Just tried on my K-7.. No problem for 8 mins of video. On an 8gb card speed 10. So has to be speed of card or battery level

Thank you for all the replies.
The problem does indeed lie with the speed of the disk.
When I reduced the video quality, there was no problem recording for several minutes.
No I just need to get a faster disk.
