| I'm not an expert, but I set up a bullet can to Mini DV system earlier in the year. Resolution is pretty good, but if you save it to any form of compressed format, the resolution suffers big time. If you save the Mini-DV tape in a relatively uncompressed DVD format, its fine, but if you save it to a compressed format to provide a smaller file size, it probably ends up exactly the same as you get out of your Archos.
I guess part of the problem is that its a demanding task being attached to a vibrating bike and asked to provide clear pics of fast moving scenery. The Archos is probably fine for fairly stationary tasks, but the extra resolution of a Mini DV camcorder prabably pays dividends for on-bike stuff |
