I highly recommend the MPEG4 recorder.
I use it for recreational, for taping movies, for viewing in my car with a built in TFT (no dvd required), and for commercial use.
This mightly little unit has so many applications.
Incredible price, incredible opportunities with it!!!
Very very satisfied!!!!

I havent had it long but I'd recommend it--I can record tv shows and watch them the next day on my PSP on the commute to/from work. Comes in handy because I go to bed early since I get up so early

As previously mentioned, there are no problems with the 2gb Duo. The SanDisk brand seems to work well with the recorder. Since I recieved my recorder, I have been downloading to an Epson P2000. I don't have a large enough CF card so I transfer everything from the duo card to my PC then to the EPSON. Takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the material.

I have the sandisk 2 gb pro duo and record my shows for watching as I work the graves and need my sleep. It is great.. I simply watch them on my PSP and the quality is fantastic. The filesize may make you go wow! it huge! a one hour show runs about 480 mb in 320x240 normal QVGA.. But it is recording realitime and does not have the advantage a pc does in the compresssion of the file. Now mine works great with regular cf disc.. but microdrive Cf drives.. I have yet to get (tried 3 different ones!)one of them to work. Yet seeing that you have the 2 gb pro duo.. there should be no problems. It has 6 timer recordings.. so you can catch most of your shows.. I record them watch them, then burn them to a dvd for archiving. I do believe that the 2 gb gives us 329 minutes of recording time.. quite a bit! Still despite the little quirks.. I do love the use I get out of it.. maybe firmware revisions will fix my problems as others do not seem to be having what I am going through.
Still FJ has been very enthusiastic in trying to get us some help.. which is appreciated.

I thought about purchasing Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 but then found several complaints about a sound recording. You can see one of them here, see the commment at the bottom: http://www.magnik.com/NEUROS-Portable-MP3-B0008JF0AS-feedback.htmlBut from the other hand, this product has a lot of great feedbacks. Can some one tell me if the sound problem exists? |

This post is about the Recorder 1 it seems. If you want to playback content recorded with the Recorder 1 on a PDA, Pocket PC or Smartphone, you need to install the free TCPMP software ( www.corecodec.com). The files created with the Recorder 2 will play just fine (Video + Audio). I imagine that this user had not installed TCPMP on his PDA yet. If you have a PSP or an iPod, both hardware supports AAC audio, and will work great with the Recorder 2 (not the recorder 1). If you want to playback content recorded with the Recorder 2 on a PDA, you will have to wait as few weeks as we are working on a bundle for PDAs, POcketPCs and Smartphones. The audio codec used by the Recorder 2 (AAC) requires a customized TCPMP software with AAC support. You can also buy softwares that support MPEG4 video and AAC audio if you do not wish to wait. FJ |

There is a new "offshoot" of TCPMP called Sompy Media Player for PocketPC... it comes with the AAC audio plugin by default. I'm sure glad to hear that, and it also has a nice user interface. Unfortunately, the performance is much worse than TCPMP at this time, even though it is supposedly based on the same code, but at least I no longer have to tell people, "Do a Google for the medium-ethics level of the Internet, and find that old AAC plugin for TCPMP 0.60..." My guess is that a faster PocketPC would still generate decent performance with it.

I tested it on an Axim, not worth using for now. Let us know if you come accross other options.

Because of the performance? Or did you have some other problem with it?

Performance. The sound was OK, but the video was not playing, I basically get the first and last image for a 15 second clip.

Wow, that's way worse than my 266 MHz iPaq 1940. I know WM5 imposes a heavy overhead, but that still sounds pretty crazy to me. On my iPaq, Sompy works at a usable level, but it's just much less "fluid" than TCPMP.
I guess it's not worth discussing anyway, though, since I don't know of any PPC on which it runs really well.
