Default RE: Sony webbie anyone?

Here are some pictures of the Sony Webbie on my Eflite Ascent 450. I attached it (with velcro) to a polyethelene strip, attached above the wing.
Video looks very good, in bright sunlight. Of course, I am shooting through the prop, so I climb as high as possible (where I can still see the sailplane), then shut motor off. This allows prop to fold back.

Only problem, is the prorietory AVC MPEG4 video, at 1440x1080 will only burn to a Standard Def. DVD, using the included Sony PMB (picture motion browser) software. I can burn AVC Hi Def DVDs, shot with my SONY Sd-11 (1920x1080i) hard drive camcorder, using Sony PMB, but video from Webbie Cam cannot be burned to a HiDef AVCHDdisc. Too bad. I also tried to burn a Hi Def Blue Ray disc, using Sony Vegas Pro, 8.0. I could import the MPEG4 video file into Sony Vegas Pro, but couldn't burn a Blue Raydisc from the timeline.

Anyway, with the included composite connectors, pluggedinto my Sony LCD1920X1080 display, video looks great, very sharp. The same video file, burned to a Blue Ray disc would look evenbetter.An HDMIconnection on the camera would help, too, better than composite. It's too bad the Sony PMD software will only burn a Standard Def DVD, from the Webbie Cam. You lose a lot of detail, dumbing down the image.

ps, regarding 2thDr, I thought the image stabilization works very well, on my sailplane. Quality is much better than the FlyCamOne2 I had before. Of course, on my Trex 500 there may be more vibration.
