Looking for a bit of input on any of the Archos products used for recording the audio/video output of ENG cameras directly into the device? Has anyone come across them or tested them in the field w/your cameras. How does the signal look. They are sold in 30, 40, 80 & 100GB sizes. Most have between 2.5"-4" LCD screen. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

What will become of the recording? Are you looking for a cheaper disk drive alternative, or is this for the benefit of someone logging footage?

I looked into this as a record deck in our helo, but the bosses went another route. If I recall, all the inputs are actually on a docking station type thing, and that may be a pain to deal with.

Thinking of using it for quick access to Non-linear editing systems. Doing alot of Corporate work, clients want I-views, speeches and possibly broll shot, edited and posted in same day. Looking at Archos as a quick means to drag material into Non-Linear systems.
