Thought about it, but I have one of the early Model B's with only 256MB RAM. Even a few seconds of video can be tens of MB, so I'm not sure it'd help much.

Yeah, in this particular application I don't need to *play* the video at the full framerate. What I'm hoping for is to *record* as many frames per second as possible. Playback in slow motion in this case is a feature, not a bug.

Sincerely,
