Well for the longest time, it did not work in on the iPhone 3G OS 2.0+   I did not complain, still included it when I talked about video recording although once I found out Cycorder started supporting sound, I’ve started using them full time.  Last week they finally updated to make it work..  but it was WAY buggy.  Then one of the updates did not get deployed on cydia correctly so I was stuck there.. Then finally 2 days ago, they got it working, but now it will not read my past movies!!!  WTF???  I have a few videos of the babbage difference engine I took at the computer museum that I still need to compile!  Grrr….  I really hope the simply changed dir and all I need to do is move the files.  If not,  time to write an email.

{update}  moving the files did not help.   FAIL.

Its still basically the same product as a year ago, and yes you still need jailbreak to use it.  There was one new feature though, you can choose to compile the video later or save as a .mov in realtime.  I appreciate the option. As some point, I will have to do a comparison between video recorder and Cycorder and see which provides better output. However, what I like about video recorder is the video and sound compression options. I can also choose between portrait and landscape.

So far, the only bugs seemed to be a crash after a movie has been compressed. Not the end of the world, and the inability to send a movie via email.  Big fail there. Hopefully this will be attended to soon.  This is important because the compressed movies are stored as mp4. You need to either post it up to youtube or convert it yourself. Here is where using the .mov option is more compatible.
