Hey, just a quick question. I'm looking for a stand-alone solution that would allow me to use a HDD as a Video Recorder, WITHOUT A PC. Basically, I want to have a hand-held video recorder (or possibly even output also, so player) made out of a spare 3.5" drive I have laying around. Regular RCA A/V inputs or even S-Video, then be able to transfer back to PC at the end of the day with USB. So, what I'd be looking for: A/D converter to convert composite video into digital AVI, MP4, wmv, whatever video format encoder Usb slave interface (later, possibly usb HOST, to hook up webcam directly, or download to thumb-drive?) Battery Powered Small/portable Thanks All, Jlopez
