In regards to "....changing out the battery without stopping the recording...."
My experience is that if you're recording video and just about anything comes along that interrupts the normal stopping of the recording, you'll likely experience difficulty with the remaining video.
Sometimes you get lucky and the video *does* show up. But, most often, if something happens (like a crash, even a minor one) that stops the recording, it doesn't get stopped properly and you lose either some of it or all of it.
One of my recent mishaps, I ran into a palm tree - fortunately the big, leafy part, not the trunk - and fell into some mud near the base of the tree. I was anticipating getting some neat video of the fall. However, since the recording was not terminated/stopped properly, it didn't get saved at all.
Sometimes, even just shutting off the Phantom without stopping the recording is enough to upset the apple cart. Sometimes I've gotten lucky and the file does show up. But, every once in a while I forget to stop the recording, turn off the Phantom, then turn off the controller and the video segment doesn't show up.
