iPhone Video Recorder 1.2.4.1

Brooke — Thu, 29 May 2008 20:59:48 +0000

The update to version 1.2.4.1 of iPhone Video Recorder now allows you to upload videos to Youtube using your standard Youtube account. The update also gives better stability to the application and fixes a few bugs. Just a reminder, if you do not have the registered version of this applications, you can only record up to 30 times and they can only be 30 seconds long. Also, it will add a watermark in the lower right corner of the video that says, Dream Catcher and the website. If you have the registered version, which costs $19.95, you have unlimited recording (well, based on the space available on your iPhone) and you can add a custom signature to the video. I personally really like this application though, I am still waiting to see what uShow is going to be like! iPhone Video Recorder is available through the ModMyiFone source.

A new update to iPhone Video Recorder doesn’t boast any huge features but does include a nice redesign of the settings. It also includes the ability to add a custom signature but this feature is only available for registered users. A few bug fixes are also included.

iPhone Video Recorder 1.2.0

There is a new feature in the iPhone Video Recording app that is an awesome concept, uploading video direct to YouTube. I call it a concept because the quality is just not there yet for me to use it regularly. The quality of the original recording isn’t that great and then rendered by YouTube it’s even worse. Here are a couple videos I shot of the process with a Flip Video. Then there’s the actual video I uploaded from the app. You will see the difference

iPhone Video Recorder 1.1.6

Douglas — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 05:04:13 +0000

UPDATE: There was an upgrade to 1.1.6 while I was writing this and I had version 1.1.4 to begin with. Although there are improvements. It’s not good enough for me to pay for yet. The update added higher quality choices which improved the end result.

When I first heard about this app I thought it was going to be ushow… Well, it’s not Although it has it’s features, ~~the basic functionality is so bad for me I won’t be using it~~. I’d rather carry something like the Flip Video. Hopefully ushow will be much better. If iPhone Video Recorder worked ~~properly~~ better, it would be a great app. This is technically a demo and give only 30 secs of recording. Purchasing gives unlimited recording time. Here’s my list of pros and cons:

Good
records both sound and video
can email video
encodes right on iPhone
Small file size
.mp4 file format
can choose mp3 or aac for ringtones (paid)
can choose video dimensions and quality
conversion not needed before uploading to Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube

Bad
audio and video not synchronized (isn’t delayed with higher settings)
video comes out zoomed in much further than original, needs to be cropped the way the final will look. (isn’t zoomed with higher resolution)
15fps, wish it was 30fps
’causes iPhone system sounds to sound muffled after use
No way to send straight to Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube from iPhone
Black bar at the top of video
needs to record full quality in landscape mode

Here’s is an original video or two:
