agree.. they're probably ok.. just need to see if you can get the USB hooked to a USB2.0 port so the data can be read fast enough when you play back.

JFYI - many times, the USB ports on the front of PCs are not 2.0 ports... need to connect to one of the ones in the back, in a lot of cases, to get a 2.0 high speed port.
