Hasn't Cycorder supposed to have been releasing an update 'soon' for almost a year?
Cycorder is awesome but the ad(s) make the video move slowly.
For instance, if you first open up cycorder, for the first 10 seconds or so, the ad doesnt come up. Then you're good to go. When the ad pops up, then you notice the slow response to phone movement. Its almost like video capture is in slow motion.
If i have to pay saurik to remove the ad, i would. Because i seldom take video with my cycorder just for this flaw.

THere was a thread about this already. Not sure on this forum or a different one but people do experience the lag in video movement when the ad pops up.
I uploaded one of my vids on youtube and saw how crappy it looked because of the lag. I took it down because of it.

Yup, definitely a 10 second lag when I first open Cycorder. After that it works like a champ. I agree with other posters, Cycorder is better than iPhone3G 24/7...
But why? So far it sounds like one has lag, advertisements, and a roundabout way to get to your videos. And one has instant email, no lag, & no ads. Cycorder may be cheaper, but it doesn't sound better.
Cycorder over iPhone3G recorder any day. I don't know what in the hell some people are experiencing with regard to Cycorder, but i for one haven't had a single problem with it. No lag, no poor sound quality, works fine for my needs. And the ads? They're tiny and pretty unobtrusive.
If you can't take the 30 seconds to SSH into your phone and drag a video out, then by all means, spend $20.00 for a comparable video recording product that instantly sends your video in an email or uploads it, by which you'd also have to take the time to log online to watch/download it anyways. People make it seem like SSH'ing into your phone is a huge chore that requires more trouble than it actually is. And if you think it's too much trouble, why did you bother jailbreaking?
And not that it's any of my concern, but some of the comments here make it sound like the developer of iPhone 3G recorder is actually posting here. Good grief.

If someone is travelling, for example, it's handy being able to post videos from the iPhone on the go, and not having to find a computer to SSH.
Then for this i would actually recommend "Qik" over any other video recorder, as Qik has the ability to stream whatever you are looking at LIVE via your own Qik page which is much like a YouTube page, and can be seen by anybody in real-time or set to private so you can watch it later. It records your streams automatically, which may even be more ideal since it does not store your videos on your phone but does so on Qik's servers, allowing you to watch it any time by going on your Qik page.
For personal video recording, however, and with no intention of sharing it/posting it instantly, then stick with Cycorder.
I was able to get into my iphone from my comp but need to do more research cause NONE of my applications were in basic and easy to find folders .. everything was coded and not user friendly at all. I'm sure it is "easy peasy" once you take the time it takes to figure it out and do it afew times.
It is. But it's still never going to be as easy as a button to email built into the app. I'm not sure why this was never added.
Someone mentioned Qik, which is an awesome app. Recording my videos instantly on someone else's server is fantastic. You can even download them later from their site in mp4 or mov. And the live streaming is pretty cool. The app seems to send bum links though when you try to share videos. But all in all, an excellent video recorder.
If you install PPVideoEnabler thru Cydia, your Cycorder videos will download right into iPhoto. You can use an app like PixelPipe (Cydia) to upload them from iPhone to the Internet. From iPhoto, you can drop them on the desktop or you can drop them into iSquirt and process them straight into iTunes.
All apps are free (except iPhoto of course)

Cool. I just checked iPhoto and indeed my videos were there! I never knew that. Thanks!
