I also have a D1. I don't believe you can set a file size limit other
than the 2GB default.
By the way, another annoyance with the D1 is that it won't
recognize more than 4GB memory cards. You can use an 8GB card, but
it stop recording at 4GB. (Actually, at that point, you can start
recording again, and use the remaining 4GB, but it will interrupt
any recording in progress at the 4GB boundary).
