From what I'm reading elsewhere if you write to SD card and format the card as Fat as opposed to Exfat the R5 is forced to save the video in 4gb chunks which is just under a minute's worth of video. you lose the last minute of recording but the rest is saved as it's a 'force save'.
Pull the battery and you get your 17 minutes back (apparently).
Whether this is actually a safe thing to do is another subject entirely. No doubt some bright spark will put the R5 through an endurance test of 24-hour continuous recording at 8k.
