Just order a new vidio camera, my last one was a cannon that used mini dvd's. I like that because I could put them in any ones vidio and watch them with no effort BUT on my last trip on the Gun Barrel Highway it copped a real hammering as its mounted to the dash. Ended up with 3 disks out of about 15 that wont read. The other problem is it has no microphone in put so with the camera facing the front the audio was always doggy (could hear all the rattles and the wind from the window being down real easy). So hopefully this cheapie will help with those small problems
