[ale] svideo recorder to hard disk

[Ron Frazier]

You didn't say if this has to be portable.  How about a standard DVR?  I 
have a Samsung unit which will record SVideo and audio to a DVD-R disk.  
I'm sure you can get off the shelf units with hard drives in them.  My 
second suggestion would be an off the shelf camcorder with built in 
HDD.  Most have external inputs.  The down side might be the video 
compression that it does.  Also, to get the recording back out, you 
might have to play it back out of the video ports.  If you record to 
DVD-R, you could put the DVD in a PC and suck the file off, but that's a 
bit kludgey.  If you want to capture to a computer, you might try the 
following:

I guess this company acquired Canopus.

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
