Please folks, the proper way to respond to an attempted
threadjacking is to simply click the Report Post button
(it's the little "!" icon at the bottom left of any post).

Back on track to the OP a bit, here's another idea that can help with restarting multiple cams: set the camera to self-timer (or remote control) and use the Canon RC-1 remote to stop and restart. Setting the remote to the "2" setting (for 2-second) will toggle recording while in live-view. Only issue is the cam must be in live-view, otherwise it will take a still, not start recording. This is great if you don't want to walk all the way around to a camera stuck in a corner, or maybe placed in a balcony. So it will be good for restarting before the 12 minute limit using Travis' timer method.

Here's a link to the RC-1:

Amazon.com: Canon Wireless Remote Control RC1 for Canon XT/XTi, XSi, and T1i Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo

Ignore that it doesn't list the 5D, I have it and it works on the 5D and T2i, and would think it would work for the 7D & 60D.
