If you're up to using the Manager interface and your programming language of choice, you could poll the list of active calls and stop recording when their duration exceeds a minute. According to my docs, res/res_monitor.c implements manager commands that could be used to halt current recordings.
The Asterisk-Java library has a "StatusAction" and "StopMonitorAction," if Java is a language candidate for an application you might write.
