Low power, small for factor question

[crustyjeff]

I have been tasked with building a system with some very special requirements, and am seeking the help of the community. Here is a list of my requirement/obstacles:

- System must capture DV from 7 cameras simultaneously to MPEG4
- System must have smallest form factor possible
- System must dump video to External HD (roughly 250GB)
- System must run on battery system for 8-10 HOURS

Any thoughts?
