Don’t give up guys………..I am sick of hauling all this gear. It just about fills the Dream Shak from top to bottom. The drop down door is for loading an ATV not film gear

That seems like it would work James. Looks like you can change the compression??

Holy smokes! I think you might have it!!!!!
Thanks. I’ll be talking to the manufacturer ASAP.
January 4, 2008 at 6:31 pm #639647Sadly… this still won’t do what we need. It converts all video to an mpeg format and editing mpegs is a miserable experience.
The search continues.

Email my producer Jason Sloan at [email protected]. He will be able to walk you through it. I’m certain he’s done some of that with underwater footage. Otherwise try Steve Worrall at muskiefirst.com. He’s a whiz.
January 5, 2008 at 2:45 am #639749I’m not sure if this will work with a composite output from your camera, it might be just a firewire out.
The product is called Firestore. Its a Camera-to-Hard Disk Recorder (DV) without a computer.

FireStore FS-2E Studio DTE Recorder
The FireStore FS-2E provides a wide range of A/V inputs and outputs, including component, composite, S-video, SDI (with embedded audio), DV, reference video loop thru, balanced audio, and AES/EBU digital audio I/O. In addition, the FireStore FS-2E includes a reference video loop thru, audio and video monitor ports, and external timecode I/O. A variety of control options are also available, including Sony 9-pin RS-422, RS- 232C, AV/C (FireWire), or wired remote control.

Robust Storage and Networking
Like all FireStore models, the FS-2E allows clips to be recorded to removable FireWire disk drives in most popular native DV NLE file formats. It includes a removable drive bay with a 120GB IDE disk drive and offers the option to daisy chain up to five external FireWire disk drives for long-duration recording. The FS-2E’s 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port also makes it possible to transfer files over a network via FTP.

Man… I wish I could afford a fleet of 6 – 8 of those with the analog converters. We’d have it licked. Price definitely is an issue. Another issue we ran into was reliability. Sampson had a similar product on one of his cameras until he upgraded recently. They worked fairly well although he did have intermittent issues. Some times it would record. Some times it wouldn’t even though it showed it was on the task. If money was no object I could lick this easy. Sadly I must admit to being a fishing-bumm.

Thanks for the name and contact info. I’ll email him in the AM and pick his brain. It will be interesting to see how other outdoors video guys have tried to approach this same hurdle.

Will this work for you?
