i have an 8mm digital video camera that i use for in car movies. nothing makes my chick hotter than me coming home from a driving event and showing her the film when i get home. there in lies the rub.

my camera mount and system has been a 1 year experiment in what works best, or not in some cases. a few things ive learned and then a question.

get a mounting system that's easy to set up and break down.

tighten said mounting through out the day event, between runs is best. my mounting system is a screw deal that requires tightening often, i did not put this together until many events in. it was "why are the last three runs so choppy?".

try different plug in options when running the camera back to the TV for playback. i had always run it through an old vcr, but found that trying it through my dvd was muy bueno.

my question is prior to a track day so i want to get it right, and it has nothing to do with more runs on one tape... is the lp (long play) more opt to handle the vibration encountered in an in car set up, or is the sp (short play for those not following along) the better way to go. i have always gone sp til now and i am wondering.

TIA, and any other pointers will be considered.
