Capturing footage without a computer

[monkeybrains]

Is there any piece of equipment that will let me capture without having to sit at my computer (and at a reasonable price).

I was thinking there may be something similar to the external drive media centers that allow could this but can't find anything.

Basically I need to capture around 2000 video clips running at 10 seconds each.

you could always use a dvd recorder.

yep, I have a dvd recorder but after recording a few short clips, it stops recording properly like it's lagging which results in dropped frames.

Are there any hard drive recorders that could do this? ie record in avi/mpeg and be able to transfer to computer after?

if you have a pvr like a tivo you might be able to that with a record in option. Though it might be useless without a computer to transfer it off the device again.
