Ya I probably should have mentioned that. My roommate has a real nice digital camera, cannon powershot S40 (4.0 Mpixel) $$$$. You can take 30sec videos with it so that is what we did. Then I used this Mediasource player that came with my audigy 2 sound card to capture the audio. It was a little windy out so you can hear it a couple times. I'm almost surprized it works better than an mp3 player, except it is a real pricey camera or used to be anyway. He was standing probably 3' behind the car the entire time. And I think that he even had the camera at eye level, but I could be wrong there.
Hope that helps,
Julian
