I’m looking forward to see that update because the app y great but there should be a framerate and resolution improvement

Ojala y puedan subir la calidad de la resolucion que la camara del iphone 3G se que la pueda dar y tambien aumentar la duracion del video un minuto es muy corta ojala minimo 10 minutos.
gracias.

I just think it’s amazing that the app go ok-ed by Apple.
But, one suggestion.., I would looooove a Flickr share (also on the iTimeLapse app). That would be magnificent.

flickr sharing is both updates (along with twitter, 12 secs, tumblr and more)

I think what y’all did he us great….what’s mote shocking is that apple approved it. Hopefully the update will pass through quickly.

I’m curious though, the actual limitations of the framerate couldn’t exceed 15 fps??? Correct?? Also mms would be fantastic… This could actually make me keep my 3G longer….

You get credit though for a good start and having it out there first!!! Thanks

!!! forward application update
thanks good
15 fps-320×240

make it 15fps and I’ll buy it… as it is now,, is not worthy…

[...] iVideoCamera ($0.99, iTunes link) is the first official app that will let you record video on a non-3GS iPhone. While this functionality was previously available on jailbroken phones, this is the first time it’s been available for legal download (ie, in the App Store). However, there’s a big drawback: only 3 frames per second, though the devs are working on improving it. [...]

I know it only does 3fps, but I say buy the app, and support the developers so they can make it better. As someone else commented, it would make me keep my 3G iPhone rather than get a 3GS, and not jailbreak my phone.
15fps would be awesome. Hope it happens soon

Sooo looking forward to the update!
Can’t wait!

hey, I can see videos in camera roll (photos) but ReelDirector and Tweetie 2 cannot find your videos from the camera roll. Could you fix it?

thats an issue with apple os only listing certain files — we are working for a fix and hopefully apple will correct in update

So I’ve seen a video done on a 2G with Cycorder that was very very nice resolution and frame rate.

Does Apple not allow your app to do videos that nice? I mean to say, do they purposely say “No your app is not allowed to record videos at the quality the camera is capable of.”?

I was able to send my first video via email to my wife but can not anymore. Any thoughts? I would really like to share short videos of our son through ail or mms

sorry — we are working on a new version to support larger files to email. as a work around you can upload to youtube and then download as mp4

we are working on getting better quality – hopefully we will get better quality to that of cycorder

Nice doggy… hopfully you can get the framerate up…

hi i think the ivideocamera is a great app but it needs somethings like longer time limit, auto focus, and zooming in and out

Very cool, nice work! Especially impressed with how good the audio quality is. Love the export to YouTube feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayh7OHo8gc

Thanks for developing the app, happy to pay £0.59

Hi, first of all, way to go guys! This one is a must have
Secondly, I downloaded the saved video from Camera Roll to my local PC via Picasa. But when I tried to play it (the extension is mov, so QuickTime is playing it), it looks like the file is corrupted or something like that, it just has green color on it and nothing else.
Any idea why is it like this? Or do you have any suggestion as how to copy the video locally (no … not sharing it to YouTube).
Thanks! keep up the good work, looking forward for the next update!

sorry – that happens on some computers and we are working on fix – you can play the video with VLC player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ as it can correct for the issue

I am excited to see that Apple has gotten their head out of the their A$$ and finally allowed a video app that works on 3g iphone’s. This was the primary reason I jailbroke my phone. For now, I’ll wait and see if the quality reaches that of QIK or Cycorder since both of those apps ( jailbreak required ) have framerates of 8-15 FPS and produce results quite watch-able. QIK also allows Youtube and Facebook uploading while Cycorder doesn’t.

Keep up the work guys and if you are allowed by APPLE to match the capabilities of QIK, I’m sure you will win over many a jailbreaker with this app!

I have been able to download the videos from the iphone to my desktop, but they do not play on the most recent version of QuickTime. Sound comes through but only a green screen for the video. What can I do to play them on my desktop? Thank you.

there is a odd codec issue on some computers — playing the video in http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC fixes the issue — we are working on fix for next version

I emailed a vid to a friend and he had the same green screen issue that Chris P and Jim N mention above. The video played fine on my phone, on Facebook, and in the email that I copied myself on as a further test with him. He’s using Snow Leopard, I’m still on regular Leapoard.

Loving it so far! A few things: After a vid’s been saved in my Photo Gallery, I’m unable to email it. When I click to ‘Share,’ the vids disappear and only photos show. I can play the vids from within the gallery fine tho, but it looks like I can only email them if I do so within iVideoCamera right after shooting. Also, at the very end of a video clip, there’s a slight metallic sounding noise. Weird. I’m also looking forward to larger dimensions and higher frame rates. The audio syncing seems to be a bit off with only 3fps.

Great job though! Can’t wait for updates!!

Who ever is in charge of publishing needs to do something about this app, or this will scale further in.asp.

I recently downloaded your app, ivideocamera. When I first launched the app it asked for my info; name, email, etc. Tonight it goes straight to recording I did not get the chace to enter ANY info- what gives?

Let me just first say, thanks for bringing this app to bare, and I do like it, so I don’t intend to be negative. In fact, I used the app almost as soon as I got it to record a great video of my daughter. The problem is, I’m really frustrated because I cannot get the video to play anywhere but on iPhones.

So, this is also a follow-up to what Presto said.

I’m having the same problem as everyone previously mentioned with the video I took. Won’t play except on the iPhone. Everywhere else green screen with audio. So, I went and I downloaded VLC, as suggested, and it does the >strangest< thing with the video: it splits it in half diagonally and then stretches both sides to fit the… remaining triangles. Hard to explain, but I hope you get the idea.

Is there anything… any program that I can use to play or convert or somehow view this video??? I tried everything I have, but nobody will play nice with it. I’d really like to be able to send it.

Of course, the other problem I have is that, once I saved the video to the photo album and closed the app, I can’t post the video to youtube from the app anymore. In the future I suppose I’ll post to youtube then view it there… or something…

One word … FINALLY! Thanks. This is a needed addition to a fantastic device. I too can’t wait for the updates.

sorry that you are having this problems — we are working on making the app much more robust and should have update out shortly

Hello,
Great app, keep up the good work!
One thing I experience, though, is that
the maxvideo length is limited to 0:07 and
I can’ t find any setting to change this. Any idea about what could it be?

Please do something with the limit. 1 minute is nothing.

Nice app

Update update update!!!! ASAP PLEASE!!!! cool app!!

Love the app!! Real good beginning to what I think will be a great app altogether!!! Feels like a native app too… Can’t wait for the upgrade with the framerate sped up. One more suggestion… a timer in the app that shows how long its filming for. Keep up the good work!

Hey Guys – thanks sooooo much for this app. Totally worth the money. I hope you do well. The resolution doesn’t look bad at all on the iPhone screen. Great work! I can’t wait to see the next version

green screen problem with mac ?

maybe you need the free quick time plugin
PERIAN or flip4mac
better both
they are free and very useful generally.
or open with VLC is free

green screen problem is a result of us encoding at the wrong timebase for certain graphic chips to playback on — it always worked on our computers so we didnt catch it — its fixed in the update which will be out shortly.

Can’t thank you enough for this app, just curious, any idea how high you can bump up the framerate? Has your update been submitted to the App Store yet?

Do you have a ballpark timeframe as to when this new update will be released? And how many fps will it be?

Nice v1.0… get this to 15 fps, fix the green screen problem many of us have, add a copule of the things other mentioned like Flickr and this is worth closer to $4.99 … get to version 2.0 with all the yet unrequested enhancements and >15 fps… and maybe worth even more.

I gotta say you guys are doing a truly amazing thing! While the app is currently not that useful with so many limitations, I can tell this is the start of a great thing! I hope the next version will get rid of the limitations and make it the terrific app it could be! Any idea when the new update will be up?

This has potential to be one of my top 5 apps ever. I just hope Apple let’s you take this to its full potential.

bought the app. kinda cool–but its not posting to my facebook. the email worked ok..but im scared to try anything else. how long does it take to post to facebook.? ive been waiting 30 mins since i sent the post and facebook isnt showing it.?!!

facebook usually takes a couple mins — you need to look in videos — videos by me — fb puts them in an odd spot

When is the update coming?

really great work! you should have a donate section, maybe some of us will give donations to help fund your updates. i am curious, did you run into problems with apple when you got this app approved? why haven’t we had a video camera app until now?

also one problem i also noticed was when i submitted my video to youtube, it was upside down. so i went a recorded another video the other way, and its now right side up, might be good idea to have this auto correct the video no matter how your pointing your iphone.

How much longer for the new update?

When will you release the update?

This app is amazing. I don’t get why people would moan about it as even in it’s current state, it adds a feature to the 3G that we DON’T HAVE. 3fps is better than 0fps… To be able to convert a stills camera to a video camera WITHOUT major hardware upgrades is an epic feat.

YOU WIN 10 INTARWEBZ FOR THIS APP!

Video recorder

app update has been submitted to apple

Thanks for the update, we are waiting. Merry christmas. Good applicattion.

This app is nothing short of superb. It also proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that the iPhone 3G could (and should) be updated by Apple officially to allow the recording of video via it’s built in camera, even if it is to a lesser standard than the 3GS with it’s newer, and dedicated camera.

If this app manages to be approved by Apple again, and this is my main concern given their inconsistencies in app approval, then the higher frame rate (even at 15fps) and higher resolution will be most welcome, although I hope early adopters are rewarded with the update for free should the price be increased?

What I also loved about this app is that it has the exact same trim interface as the iPhone 3GS, right down to the yellow trim timeline … absolutely fantastic, and again surprising given that Apple have rejected IM apps in the past because the “bubbles” resembled those used in the official iPhone SMS app.

Fingers crossed the update makes it through unscathed, and hopefully Apple doesn’t take it time deciding whether or not the update should be allowed or not.

How long does apple need for an update 15 days

wat r new new features in next udpate?

Uff this update is espectacular. Thanks. This the best apps of video.

I am sudent

apple phone is a goods phone’s

Update was fantastic. Will it ever be possible to capture with higher fps at the higher res (it would then be perfect!)

Thanks so much for this app!

love the new update, although facebook connect does not work which is a pitty, hope that gets fixed soon.

Cant wait to see a solid frame rate.

you guys rock!!!

Curious about sending videos with mms

Hi
I am unable to upload videos to FaceBook – the login page doesn’t function properly. Help!

great little app! i am not able to email videos when i’m on 3g. it seems to work when i’m on wifi. it just sits and then comes back without any error. any ideas?

thanks!

s

loaded app and when I to upload video to facebook “connect to facebook” locks up.

Great app. but, is there a way to upload a video to MobileMe account. As long as I have it in camara roll I can’t do anything with it.

More, more, more frame rates please, and longer rec time in high quality, this app is awesome, U GUYS ROCK!!!!!! lol

There will be another update?

Have you upgraded to more than 3fpm yet??

Has resolution improved? Is 1 min. still max film time? Best question covers it all. What are the current specs and what and when are updates expected

When I try to use the app tpo post to facebook I can not enter anyting into the connect to facebook screen. i.e. email and password. any guidance

Same trouble than BRIAN:
NO CONNECTION with FACEBOOK
(ok with YouTube)

I love this app! Thank you! I only have one problem, I can’t login to Facebook to upload my video. Can you correct this?
Thank you so much!!

Great but please fix the Facebook login.

It doesn’t work you fucking idiot! Fix the Facebook capability.

I just purchased this and for $0.99 it is quite the bargain. I do think that I should get more than 6 seconds of hi resolution video when I have 12 gigs free though.

The touch areas are messed up when I want to “Share” a video and connect with Facebook…..This is driving me nuts. Please fix it!

why even bothering making an app that doesnt work?!!!!!
i wonder hou you guys got approved by apple.

same thing as the other 1000 people in this page, I CANT CONNECT TO FACEBOOK!

you guys better fix it!

i’ll be waitnig for an email of you guys with the answer of how to fix this shit, thanks!

Facebook work please? Or at least can the admin say what the problem is like he did in other posts or what/when this is to be fixed, or if there is a workaround or even a
tutorial or a help page or a support page or something? Please k <3

sorry the latest update broke facebook — the next update which will fix it should be out soon

When should we expect to get the facebook fixed?

looking for a facebook fix….otherwise love the app. Same questions as all the others regarding FB….it won’t let me any further than the connect screen then locks up completely……thanks for any help you can give….

I am trying to upload to youtube, however it gives me the error upload failed: wrong password/youtube unreachable. my youtube logon is through gmail, is this a problem? Is anyone else having this issue?

I plan to be patient in waiting for your update. This app is worth the wait. I like the auto storage of your videos, and ease of use. Don’t need the fancy effects.

Like it, but it’s hard as hell to share the videos. Almost impossible. Youtube is giving me BAD AUTHENTICATION error msg, email attachment doesn’t attach the images if it’s more than 10MB and I don’t know how could it be more than 10MB if the app doesn’t let you shoot more than a minute or so. Facebook: I can’t even log on to it thru iVideo…so I find this app kinda useless at this point.

For all those have problems with facebook upload your videos to Youtube and from there to facebook! let this people work in peace on the signing problem with Facebook and stop with those stupid threatening messages . Come on you just paid 0.99 for a video app if you don’t like it buy the new iphone and be happy!!!!

New update is pretty nice. Video quality is on par with QIK. If only the FPS is better, it will beat the QIK.

Hi guys. Love the app. Kudos on getting the facebook connect working. I’ve been looking high and low for video editing apps for iPhone 3G but apparently at this point they’re only available for the 3GS or for jail-broken phones. Any chance you guys are working on that for a future update to iVideo Camera? That would awesome.
