I found a workaround for my Canon EOS 200D: It works if you don't download the movie clip!
#record clip and leave the clip on the camera's SD card #before recording I cleared the SD card completely via #gphoto2 --delete-all-files --folder="/store_00020001/DCIM/100CANON" #then record to an empty SD card gphoto2 --set-config capturetarget=1 --wait-event=3s --set-config viewfinder=1 --set-config movierecordtarget=0 --wait-event=600s #interrupt recording process whenever you want sudo pkill -f gphoto2 #check camera's SD card for result – double check is necessary as checking only once gives wrong result (!) gphoto2 --list-files > NUL; sleep 3; gphoto2 --list-files; #then download file in a separate process gphoto2 --get-all-files --filename="/home/pi/video.mp4"; > On 21.
