Editors comments: This is currently one of the worst video capture apps for the iPhone/iPhone 3G that I have tried, and whilst video playback does appear to be smoother than many of the other apps, I have raised the following points with the developer.
- There is no export option.
- Not pointed out in the description, but this app has no sound, and should not have been released without it.
- If you delete any video, then its number i.e. 1,2,3 etc does not get reused, so if you delete the first 3 videos the next one is number 4, and not number 1, as 1,2,3 etc. do not get reused.
Another thing not pointed out in the description, is the video capture is about 7 fps @ 240 x 320.
The developer has assured me that some of these issues will be addressed in the next release, but with an already overcrowded market you may want to miss this one for now.
