AC works when starting and doesn't work after a few minutes

Hi,

I have a 2006 4 cylinder Subaru Outback 2.5i.

When I start the car and turn on the AC, the AC Compressor engages and I verified it by looking in the engine.

However, after a few minutes, the air becomes warm. I looked in the engine and the AC compressor is not engaged (it is not spinning when I look at it).

Here is a link to a 3MB video of it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwAkHInPHe20UWdMWmlEb1pScFE


Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

edits:
the car has manual climate control.
Seems similiar to this but my car is a four cylinder: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/66-problems-maintenance/13794-intermittent-c-problem.html

I'm hoping it's the relay...

I started the car and waited till the AC Compressor stopped spinning. Switched the A/C Relay and the subFan relay and guess what... AC worked and the subFan did not!!!

I'll be getting a new relay tomorrow.

However, any other comments would be appreciated
