Default portable digital video recorder?

I've been looking for sometime now and haven't found this...here's what I'm after: a portable unit that can record a A/V input from a camera. I want to hook up a small bullet camera to my car and record while on the track. I've seen a similay set-up, the guy's recorder had a 10-20 GB disk...any idea where I could get one?

thanks!

-Peter

My archos portable video/music play does video/music recording. Try CompUSA or circuit city. Not sure what your price range is.

I would think the set-up should be around $500 - 700. I know the unit I saw used a flash card type drive...so it required buying some large GB flash cards.

I just read tons on the Archos 100GB...how do you like it. It seems like it'll do everything I want and more. My main question is that when it records video, hows the quality? Are you able to export the video to a PC?

thanks!

interested in this as well. Not for the track, but for the times I get pulled over. BS tickets, dirty 5-0, or cops that wanna hate.

Some makes a camera that comes with two video heads. One is a plug in that is designed to be mounted to a helmet or whatever. Unplug that one and the body mounted one works. I saw these things at Best Buy Christmas of last year for about $400 IIRC. The thing was designed for extreme sports recording.

www.supercircuits.com sells all sizes and kinds of digital recorders for cameras. They have some that run off of DC power and are designed for city buses and police cars. They've got some that are the size of MP3 players using an SD chip to record :30 to :60 minutes worth of video on a flash drive.

I am planning to do a mini mac install and use the iSight and record to the hard drive directly. I am told its a great 30fps, low profile bullet type cam with integrated mic...
