While the A/C compressor is designed to cycle, normally it should be running continuously under certain conditions. If it was Hot or really warm when you were filming that, it should not be cycling. There are few conditions where it is supposed to.
Low on Refrigerant
Keep itself from icing (when the weather is cooler mainly in defrost mode) or if you just like air conditioning in cooler weather?
WOT
Aside from those conditions, the compressor should be running pretty constant. If it was warm when you filmed that, I would have the refrigerant levels checked just to be sure your not running low.

Does anyone know how to disable the compressor cycling on/off?
My 2010 GT AC compressor cycles on and off when the climate control system is on (AC on or off). Many other cars do this as well - like the Honda CRV. The CRV has an override to not cycle the compressor if you hold down a bazillion buttons and cycle the defroster off/on - only resetting this feature until the volatile memory is reset (battery pull).

Even my car's compressor cycles like that. It's pretty normal. If you have the AC set to full cold, it doesn't cycle. But when it's set to a similar temp to the outside temp, it cycles to maintain that temp. It doesn't need to stay on all the time, because that will over cool the cabin, so it just goes on and off. Nothing to worry about. It's the way the car was designed. Let it be.
