Raw Hack for Coolpix 8700 in TimeLaps Mode?

Hi, might be beating a dead horse, but here goes.

I have a coolpix 8700 and been experamenting with timelaps photography to create Hi Def video. Have some interesting results, but i think i might need better results.

I cannot seem to get .raw data files in this mode of photography on this coolpix.
Is there a Hack to deal with this issue?

In Timelaps mode, you can only do a 8mb capture in a "FINE" jpeg file. (It takes BIG memory to do that -- over 1 GB flash cards.) Now i am not sure this is going to give me the best results when I compress or output to a HD 1080i/59.94 Digital Video File.

I recently did a short clip of a Pacific Coast Sunrise in 3Mb "FINE" capture mode and have outputed onto dvd, and i not sure i have high quality video. At the time, i could not afford High Capacity Flash cards. I see a lot of compression artifacts in the sublte cloud/blues... I wish i can upload a pict, but i am using another computer to write this missive.

Thank you in advance,

Calvin Ogawa
