1GB Extreme III CompactFlash

[BrianDubya]

I am waiting for my R2 to arrive and need a CF card. I need to know if the SanDisk 1GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card will work or should I just look for a plain CF card?

Thanks

i do a test recently about muti-storage crad R/W speed.

one part of test was "SanDisk 1GB plain CF card"

a 16:9 DVD source in(very clear signal)...

let R2 run a 640x480-30fps 3328 kbps encode and decode 30 min.

the test "over the original video bitrate design"...max 2048kbps.[:0]

30min&800Mega mp4 video file size on the SanDisk 1GB plain CF card.

the 30min-800Mega video file playback on TV through R2.

oh my god.R2 become a DVD quality recorder.[]

take easy.it's just a test.hehe.

I bought a good "Kingston Elite Pro 2GB Compact Flash Memory Card" from Buy.com (it will end up costing me about $34 After MIR & coupon[]) and it has performed excellently with my R2! The SanDisk Extreme III cards are expensive, and you can get twice the capacity for half the price of the SanDisk Extreme card and still not have to compromise that much on read/write speed.

"i do a test recently about muti-storage crad R/W speed."

So what are you saying? If I record with a certain set-up I will get DVD quality?

Will the card work?

nah,we have a plan to increas the R2 640x480 REC quality.(2048kbps up to 3328kbps)
the first,we got sure the original card can sustain the extra loading of data write in.

the second,some technique problem need to face and solve.
