Video Recording in iPhone ?
Everyone out there who owns an iPhone must have been dissapointed to see that there is no video recorder in iPhone with a beautiful Camera which is ” good only in daylight ”
But all you people with the iPhones who want to record video you have come to the correct place.
The softwares which make this possible are :
- Cycorder
- iPhonevideorecorder
These softwares are not the official ones created by apple or its team, these are the softwares which can be updated into your phone through Cydia.
Cycorder:
It is the first high speed (MJPEG) video recorder for the iPhone.
This is the description given in their website:
“Record at the maximum speed of the iPhone camera (6-15 frames per second, depending only on lighting conditions) with no compression delay between pressing stop and getting to view the resulting video”
It also says that:
“Cycorder does MJPEG compression: the same as that used by most point and shoot digital cameras that also happen to support recording video.Video files are recorded at 384 x 288, a 4×3 (television) aspect ratio”
It claims to be higher in quality that that of iPhone video recorder software.
“Quality is noticeably higher than that of iPhone video recorde (which uses a very lossy compression algorithm at a low framerate in order to obtain its small video sizes).”
Why do people degrade others to gain their own superiority, everything has its own speciality.
iPhone Video Recorder:
This is the Description given in its official site iPhonevideorecorder.com
” iPhone Video Recorder (for 2G and 3G iPhone) is a powerful iPhone oriented video recorder produced by DreamCatcher. The newly released version 3.0 supports on-the-fly (real time)recording to mov file with the video quality improved dramatically. iPhone Video Recorder for 3G iPhone can also record audio and video to the compressed mpeg4 format for space saving, an-hour-high-quality recording will be a file as small as 60MB. iPhone Video Recorder boasts a frame rate up to 15fps which guarantees better recording performance . With iPhone Video Recorder, recording is easy and enjoyable, you may play back the video, download it to a computer, upload to Youtube, or send it out by email as you wish.”
Video recording is only possible for 30 seconds and only 30 videos each of 30 sec duration are possible.
It has a new feature which enables you to record your video in Spy mode by switching off the screen, **but for a 30 second video i dont think recording a spy video will be of much help**
