However most players will only play up to the point you had recorded 
when you first started playback.  After which, you will have to exit 
playback and re-enter, to refresh the filesize and access further 
recorded video.  At least when I used to do this years ago on my PS3, it 
would remember the last position, and begin playback immediately where I 
exited the player.
