Luckily the attention span of most people (unless they are watching a movie) will be well within the 45 minutes per session. In this case the customer was more interested in seconds watched down to a 5 second mark rather than milestones such as 25 to 100%. One other thing that can be done is setting the tracking for every 10 seconds which would increase your session tracking to around an 1 hour and 25 minutes. Hey Cameron,

For those experiences it might be worth just settling on a 25% - 50% - 75% - 100% quadrant metrics tracking.
