Ocean11 0 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 OK, so I've just plonked down a massive 9,800 yen for this digital video cam and I also bought a 256 MB memory card. (If you think the camera looks like a small piece of shit, feel free to say so - I couldn't care less). I got an au phone with a video on it (free), and while it's quite fun, it costs to send the crappy little vids to your PC. I'd like to ask those who know, how much MP4 video does a 256 MB card hold? Roughly how many minutes am I likely to be able to take? Link to post Share on other sites
green 0 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Looking at what I have, which is a sanyo Best quality vid 128MB card - 5.14 mins 512MB card - 21.2 mins Normal quality 128MB card - 20.10 mins 512MB card - 1hr 21mins PS It looks shiny, not brown. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 Thanks green. So an in-between card seems quite adequate for the sort of snippets I'm likely to take. Now all I need is a helmet camera. If you were to strap a camcorder to some part of your body to film when riding with a head camera, I wonder which part of your body would offer the best protection to the camcorder if you bing...

jared 0 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I find if you just film the bits you really want 5 mins is a long time. If you get lots of crap waiting for the bit you want you can use lots of space. Link to post Share on other sites
smiler 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I tend to find that too - it doesnt sound long but it goes a long way. You'll have plenty of space if you get a fairly decent sized card. Link to post Share on other sites
