Movies lock up

Had the camera a bit over a year and pictures are acceptable.
Easy to use, Scene mode is useful.
there is noticeable noise in indoor lighting.
The deal breaker is the movie mode.
When it works it is phenomenal. Great light and great sound.
We loved it for about a year. then it started to destroy movies. we would get a movie that the camera stated was not a recognizable format. We tried different cards and batteries but anything over 1 minute the camera locks up and does not save your movie. we have to take the battery out of the camera to unlock. We are now keeping the movie clips to 30 seconds... better than nothing. Obviously am here looking for a replacement. it is hard to even look at Kodaks knowing the camera may only last a year before I have to replace.
