YOu may have more luck searching for DVR's rather than PVR. DVR is typically what the device is called that does what you're after.

my archos 604 is good for in car, but shite for on bike. have tried numerous times to record track action and it just seems to suffer from vibration too much and always ends up with corrupt files, locked up or shut down

just got a used archos 405 off ebay that is solid state (records onto internal memory and SD card) that my exisiting bullet cam plugs into. will trial that out on the bike later, as well as an HD camcorder that records onto SD card that i can mount on the tank via a bracket on the fuel filler

2GB internal and can take up to 16GB cards apparently.

as an idea of size, video from a bullet cam of 13.5 minutes is approx only 275 MB so plenty for a trackday
