"Is there a corporate conspiracy to limit recording time of camcorder to about an hour"
When I was in college I spent about a month in Philadelphia -- and my friends and I were amazed at the boot-legs of various movies.

Now, a video cam capable of doing more than 1 hour of recording and at some sort of digital quality that can be plugged right into a computer and copied over -- this has got to be keeping an executive somewhere up at night...
