Today i have gotten video recording to work, as it stands my max fps is @ 40-45 and i am limited by the iPhones ram so i need to keep working to get closer.. but right now i can capture 2mp quality at 10fps for 10 seconds.. when i lower the quality to normal phone size .mov i should be able to get a higher fps and a minute of video at least. 

---UPDATE---

im posting a binary that will record 5 seconds of video and replay it. there is no ui, this is a very simple proof of concept. all data is stored to memory. i can actually record twice as long but for this sample 5 seconds is fine (this will record 5 seconds at 10 fps)..

The final app will be able to record somewhere from 15-30+ fps and should have an unlimited file lenth.

lots of people have been posting video of it in action. here are some random clips from youtube.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED! EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED WILL RECEIVE A LICENSE TO REGISTER THE FINAL APPLICATION, AND ALSO KNOW THAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING DEVELOPERS TO MAKE MORE COOL STUFF FOR THE IPHONE!

(people have been asking if you HAVE to donate, the answer is no. You'll still be able to download a fully functional version for free, but it "might" add a small watermark on the bottom corner with my logo.)

 

WE ARE SHOOTING TO RELEASE VERSION 1 WITH ALL ADVERTISED FEATURES BY JAN 15TH! 

 

UPDATE

WE WILL BE OUT OF TOWN JAN 14TH - JAN 18 ATTENDING MAC WORLD EXPO. THE SITE MOST LIKELY WILL GO DOWN SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND THEN FOR A MAJOR UPDATE. ALSO WHEN WE RETURN THERE WILL BE AN UPDATE WITH INFO REGARDING THE VIDEO RECORDING APP.

just thought id throw in a few pics to tease everyone :P... mainly because some people have been begging me for a few ui pics.. here are a few of the video recorder controls (app will function in portrait AND landscape) nothing really exciting, just wanted to keep this post fresh with info. there are alot more ui elements but i want people to be somewhat surprised when the app comes out..

dont pay attention to the red lines, they are just artifacts, thats why apps are so fun, cause stupid things like random red lines pop up for no reason 

Please don't tell me to release an update, the app will be released the minute its ready. 

also if you find this interesting please click the digg button, i recently made some minor changes to the site and all digg counts got reset. The more diggs i get the more people know about the app and thats a good thing!. THANKS

I am currently building the this and all my apps to Apple iPhone SDK specs and will be available on all non jailbroken phones. Because of the legalities i cannot discuss SDK details or answer any information that isn't publicly available regarding Apple iPhone SDK.

I have just upgraded to a 1.1.3 jailbroken phone, which leaves me the dilemma of when i get my SDK (hopefully any day now) what will i do? I can restore to a normal clean 1.1.3 and develop for sdk, or i can not use sdk. I think ill have to buy a new iphone to use as a jailbroken test device and leave my phone that i use as the clean one that i develop sdk apps for.

P.S. There is a new option on the right column for the newsletter, i suggest everyone sign up to it if you want to get the email for the Application updates. You also can sign up to the newsletter even if you are not a member to my site.

-----UPDATE 8:51PM 3-16-08-----

what a weekend, had my iphone finally kick the bucket, and had to get a replacement. and the sdk / toolchain stuff to deal with... i finally have a toolchain for compiling apps for 1.2 firmware..

whats odd is the video app right now runs on 1.1.4 (which means it should run all the way back to 1.0.2) .. so it seems right now the app is universal, and runs on any firmware.. which is a good thing.
