Shiner is the name of the company. Their most popular style seems to be the Bock, which is generally what you'll get if you go into a bar in Texas and say "Gimme a shiner." That, or someone will punch you in the face.

**** off... the video was mostly to see if it blurred too badly with motion and what not... the full res videos are considerably better than what youtube shows, but they are definately not hi def regardless of the interpolated resolution and what they advertise.

Are you sure you have the settings correct? That cam is NOT interpolated up to 720p - it actually has a 720p cmos. The difference between this cam's 720p and true hidef is the compression. But most cams use more compression than the true 720p HD.

Here's a link to some 480p video that is a compressed AVI file.

Does the Aiptek A-HD look better than that? It should- that's what comes from the "lesser and cheaper" Aiptek MPVR 2K6.
