Sure. Here's the site and setup I'm working on.

It says 16 GB supported, but other sites have this same camera model and document support of up to 64 GB.
They have an embedded example of the video.

Re: Road Rage Witnessed
I, too, have witnessed these types of confrontations and they are scary to say the least.
Due to the overabundance of agressive driving and "road rage" incidents in DFW, I am equipping my car with a covert security camera. Will record thru the front windscreen at HD and a fairly high frame rate (>30 fps)
Supports a 64GB card and encodes shock sensor info into the datastream in case of an accident. Also very nifty, is the GPS sensor and GoogleMaps overlay. You get a map and indicator of just were you are in the video - all on one screen.
The resolution is about 15 inches to infinity - should be clear enough to capture my car's hood and what's going on out there for police to review later. It records continously from engine on to engine off. I figure I can get about 15-20 hours of high resolution video before it starts to over-write the oldest file. Plenty enough space.
It can also record in-the-cabin audio, if enabled.
Cost for the unit I'm getting is fairly reasonable ~$300 plus S&H. There are some out there for less than $100. Or you can spend $4000. Its wide open.
I agree with some other posters that dialing a phone during an active confrontation is problematic at best; it could be catastrophic, at worst. Your natural instinct will be to focus on the threat - maybe to the point of not even thinking of dialing the phone in the heat of the moment.
I'm going to let the camera record and gather the event automatically, while I escape (if possible). The cops can find the aggressor later on if they're able.
It will also serve as a check on me to ensure that I'm driving the way I should be driving. It can get to be a herd mentality out there on the road sometimes - I need to be sure I'm in check and not causing or eggin' on the event.
