if you just want to build a file for later post, get a firestore drive.
These mount on the hot shoe of your camera and record the video straight to
disk. Not sure what AVI format you want, but it does several:

No matter which DV nonlinear editing (NLE) system you have, the FireStore
FS-4 as you covered. Files are recorded to disk as RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI
Type 2, VI Type 2 24p, Matrox AVI, Canopus AVI, Quick-Time or QuickTime 24p.
Some models also include Pinnacle AVI, Avid DV-OMF and HD support. Simply
connect the FS-4 to your Mac or PC editing system like a normal FireWire
hard disk drive and you are instantly ready to edit. No capturing, no file
transfer, no file conversion. Just shoot and edit. Transfer clips to your
NLE system¹s media drive at up to four times real-time or edit instantly in
real-time using the FS-4 as your media source.

They run about $700-800. We use these on some shoots ­ in conjunction with
an Sony Anycaster.
