Thumb drive is unlikely to work, but a SD card would be fine. Quite a lot of laptops and desktops come with a build-in SD-card reader. And if your desktop doesn't have one, it's easy to built it in or use an external reader.

What I would like to do, is to record my sports students in class when it's their turn, then send each of them home with the video to look at later, to be able to remember what we worked on and to analyze their technique.
I really want to avoid any file copying, or down-load/post-production - that's going to make it major unlikely to be workable.
I thought about using a DVD camcorder, and just switching out the DVD. Biggest concern is playback on frontloading/non-tray dvd player, since you can't get the miniDVD to DVD adapters any more.
Is there anyway to directly record to a thumbdrive? That would be the ideal, even if I had to do it through my laptop (pre-class set-up is okay, but I can't be spending time with it during or after classes.
Ideas? Suggestions? Help...
