Hi,

Bought a DXG Roadster, which is a SD based hybrid camera/camcorder thing, It's pretty smart, anyway main reason I bought it was because it had AV-In. Bare in mind I bought this in the US, so you have the whole NTSC thing, but it does have PAL/NTSC and 50Hz/60Hz options on the menus. I've recorded from DVD and my other camcorder on it perfectly fine.

Anyway, so I bought a Bullet Cam, Pal ofcourse. Went to plug it in and it has loads of vertical scanlines, messed with all options but it was still the same. Plugged it directly into my TV and it was fine.

Reckon it's a NTSC/PAL incompatibility or something else. Just tried to take a screenshot but it's not letting me for some reason, will try later!
 
Heres a quick screengrab.

The camera records to MPEG4 format on SD, it's viewed through WMP10 and screenprinted, It's pretty much what it looks like on the cameras screen too.
 
I went for a 'Sports Cam' from Ebay, they're £59.99. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sport-Cam-Bul...DVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180082816648

It'll deffo be going back because now I've looked at the contents all it is cheaper bullet cam which sell for £25 on Ebay plus a 8x battery pack which costs about £1 in elec shops. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=150089274737&rd=1&rd=1

If it does turn out to be a PAL/NTSC problem I found one on US Ebay which includes a better camera, plus microphone and more accessories for £60 inc P+P. (They do PAL versions too)

I'm quite impressed with the quality of the cheaper cam I already have, picks up low light really well (although quite pixelated as you'd imagine but does a good job with changes of light).
