embedded digital video recording??

[4MLA1FN]

i've been looking for a small and lightweight device that will take
video in and write to, say, a 1GB compactflash card or sd card for
long record times. it would basically be a stripped down solid state
camcorders without camera or screen.

has anyone seen something like this? do "modules" exist to build one?
i figure i'd need something like video adc, mpeg, uP, memory device.

i know the memory device module exists: http://tinyurl.com/tj65d

i'm reading up about video chips on the maxim-ic.com site; lots of
good stuff there.

what i don't know about is if mpeg X (1/2/4?) encoder chips/modules
exist.

anyway, thanks for any pointers.

DV is about 25mb/sec, so you will be pushed for power, but if you go
uncompressed it will be about 270mb/sec.
probably easy to go this way
