When I try to record a movie with my canon camera, it will record perfectly for approximately 20 to 25 seconds and then busy comes up on the screen and it stops recording. Is there a way to increase the record time?
I think your card is damaged. Try connecting to your computer and check available space. Take a backup and format it from your PC, check if it is formatting completely.
If the card is not Class 10 you will also have problem recording movie from a camera. You need a high speed card to record video.

internal microswitch connector has been damaged.so it has been stuck at movie mode ,it can be replaced.

The card you are using is having a hard time keeping up with the video. Have you ever formatted this card before? Suggest trying a format of the card to see if that corrects the problem (NOTE this will also erase the card, so only do this AFTER you've downloaded all the photos/videos to your computer.
Press menu, select the tools menu, then select the item stating the card's capacity and select it. Then follow the on-screen prompts for a low-level format.
If formatting does not correct this, you might want to consider a better/faster card than what you're currently using. Be careful in purchasing though in that I doubt the newer SDHC cards will be compatible with your camera.

When recording movies in the SHQ image quality mode, I am restricted to 15 seconds of recording time per movie. Why?
In
SHQ mode, the FE-230 records movies with VGA resolution (640 x 480
pixels) and a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Recording this much
data, this quickly, requires a large amount of camera memory and a very
quick write time.
Olympus’ Type M+ and Type H xD-Picture Card media are high-speed
cards and are able to process this volume of information with no loss
in quality. Other commercially available media, including Type M and
Standard type xD-Picture Card media, are not able to do so. For this
reason, this model limits movie recording in SHQ mode to 15 seconds
when using media other than Type M+ or Type H cards. The 15-second
restriction guarantees that the camera will be able to process the data
properly and produce a smooth, error-free movie during playback.
Keep in mind that there is no restriction on movie recording length,
other than the capacity of the storage media, when recording in the HQ
(320 x 240 pixels) mode.
I'm not sure if you are recording in SHQ or not. Try switching to HQ (press menu, then select image quality). It solved the problem for me. Btw I got the solution of the Olympus FAQ page on their website.

Use a card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.
SOURCE: Digital Camera CANON PowerShot A410-No VOICE Record
I'm sorry to tell you, but the PowerShot A410 model does not have a microphone to record voice. Of all the A400 models, only the A410 and A420 were made this way. For some unknown reason, Canon decided to not include micorphones wiith these two cameras, thus they can only record video, but no voice.

When I try to format the card. It will format about 1/4 of the way, switch to busy and stop formatting.
