No, the time limit on the Nikon to keep it from being classified as a Pro Video camera is 29 min. The 20 min recording limit you hit was due to the sensor overheating. The Nikon is a still camera that can take some short video shots. The higher the recording codec/frame rate the more you are taxing camera and heating it up. A patch is not going to solve this issue. If you need longer recording times, get a real video camera designed for continuous recording. A BM Pocket camera with a BMPCC/Nikon Speed Booster (Metabones) will run comic,es around the Nikon. I did a test with the D7100 and a Pocket camera, no comparison, the Pocket camera won!
Also, there is the new Micro Cinema camera, which requires an external monitor. Both are only $995.
