Do I still need to purchase the MPEG-2 and VC-1 license keys for the Raspberry Pi 2?

Can I record a 24 hour video on the Raspberry Pi with camera module?
Given that I have an SD card with sufficient capacity, is it theoretically possible to record a 24 hour video with a camera module or is the recording duration limited? Has anyone tried this?
Do you think 64GB be enough on a 360p recording quality?
