Subject: Timer on MPEG-4 Recorder 2

I asked this question on the support forum but got no answer, so I'm trying it here...

I am interested in the MPEG-4 2. It looks like a nice, simple way to capture video and audio.

I'm a woodworker and I create short videos captured in the woodshop. I mounted a small camera to a rotating pedestal in the center of ths shop, and I face it in the direction of the operation I'm recording. The trick is, I need the device to go on by itself at a certain time so I can work at the machine without interruption. I can't stop whjat I'm doing to fiddle with a remote control, so I'm interested in the timer fucntion of the MPEG-4 2.

There was some unfinished discussion of the timer a while back.

-- Is this feature not implemented in the MPEG-4 2?
-- Can someone explain how this feature works?
-- There is no screen on the MPEG-4 2, so how do you know what time you have set it for?
-- What options do you have with the timer?

Thanks!
