Iphone Video Recorder

There is a new app out called iPhone Video Recorder. You can get it by installing this source: http://www.iphone-recorder.com/install2

So far the video and audio for me are not in sync. Also I can’t send direct to YouTube, Facebook or Flickr although I can manual upload them.

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.

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
