I own an older Fujifilm camera... Think it's an S2000. Can't tell now since I'm not home.
Anyhow, when I try to take video it only takes about 10 seconds and then stops. Any idea why
this might be or how I can fix it/have it fixed? it used to take about 7 minutes of video at a time.

As Eddie says, it could be the memory card. The same thing happened to an old Kodak camera that I used to own.

Do you have, or can you borrow another card and see how that performs?

As for the rating, I'm not at all convinced that it makes a scrap of difference. The numbers applied to memory cards are applied by their manufacturers and unless something's changed which I know nothing about, they can grade them with any number they like.
There's no "official" test or standard which they need to achieve (or otherwise) to get a seemingly high rating.
There was a thread on here a while ago on the subject of memory card ratings. None of us could see where one was a better performer than another based on the number.

Jester.

Thanks. your advice helped. Formatting with the camera was the answer. I have a new issue I will post on a new topic.
