Maximum Movie length only applies to motion capture movies

Issue

Maximum Movie length only applies to motion capture movies and not continuous recordings. If you set a length on continuous it will just not record after that,

I've set up a camera to monitor some activity around my house recently with the aim of sending the videos to the local police for a crime reference number I have open.

I can set Maximum Movie Length option to 0 and it will happily record indefinitely and create a new video file at random after it is several GB in size. If I set it to 600s (5 mins), for example, I would expect this to do continuous recording and every 600s create a new video file (this would make it far easier to download and send to another source as evidence).

The tooltip wording suggests at first that Maximum Movie Length applies to all movies but later suggests it only applies to Motion movies.

Please could you let me know if this is a bug, intentional/limitation, or if there's something I need to set in particular to make Continuous recording start a new video after a certain amount of seconds?

Thanks.
