New iPhone Video App: FlexiCorder

Multioption Video Recorder for iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod Touch 4G

App Store Description: FlexiCorder - is a flexible video recorder for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch 4G which gives you many more choices to shoot video than the native video recorder.

• Switch between Front and Back camera on-the-fly WHILE recording.
• The native front facing camera laterally inverts your video such that your right hand will appear on the left, like a mirror. Flexicorder fixes this issue. So now your videos are completely natural.
• Choose between 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio and a long list of supported resolutions(1280x720, 1024x768, 960x540, 960x720, and many more).
• On iPhone 4, video shot by native recorder takes almost 75 MB of space per minute of video. On iPhone 3GS, disk space usage is 25 MB per minute. With Flexicorder, you can reduce it significantly by choosing an appropriate resolution and/or bit rate making it an ideal app for 16 GB iPhone 4 or 8 GB iPod Touch 4G. Choose the right resolution and bit rate to reduce the disk space usage by at least 50% with no visible drop in video quality.
• Smooth recording quality with frame rate between 25 fps to 30 fps depending on recording conditions.

Using Flexicorder, you can be a part of the video you are shooting simply by switching to the front camera while recording. So now you can include your loved ones in front of the camera and yourself in the same video effortlessly. Use this at your class reunion, your thanksgiving dinners,with your kids and your pets.

Features:

• Switch between front & back camera even in the middle of recording(iPhone 4 & iPod touch 4g),
• Choose between 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio on any device, and choose compression level to optimize storage
• Supported recording resolutions: 1280x720 (16:9), 1024x768 (4:3), 1024x576 (16:9), 960x720 (4:3), 960x540 (16:9), 854x480 (16:9), 800x600 (4:3), 720x405 (16:9), 640x480 (4:3), 640x360 (16:9), 512x384 (4:3), 480x360 (4:3), 480x270 (16:9), 384x216 (16:9), 320x240 (4:3), 256x192 (4:3)

It hangs for a bit when you switch, but that lag
doesn't show upon playback. I did notice the audio
JUMPS when you switch cams. Huge flaw, considering
you wouldn't want the recording to be interrupted. :(
