Thanks for this great post. For some reason, I’m getting an error posting my video to YouTube (no reason, just a “There was an error posting this vidoe”) and emailing a video greater than 1 minute.

Any ideas?

How do I pull the raw video over into my pc, I know, I know, I shouldn’t be using a boring old PC but my upgrade to a Mac Book Air is still a few months away and I’m stuck with my trusty little machine still :)

I noticed (and tested with someone else) that after an iphone3gs video reocording is emailed (it is compressed by the iphone before emailing( the audio is definitely of lower volume or more mufffled than when I listen to it on the iphone or listne to it after it has been imnported into the computer through itunes.

Great Video!

The new iPhone 3G S is amazing! Best phone/device on the market by a mile.

However I am having this problem uploading to YouTube…?

How do you get it to upload in the Widescreen landscape mode? When I upload with my new iPhone 3G S it uploads in narrow screen even when I hold the phone on its side in landscape mode? Having said that 1 video I recorded & uploaded to youtube did work in landscape mode? Any ideas? Please advise?

I have tried many videos now holding the camera upright & sideways but to know avail?

Any ideas?

if we’re going to wish, lets go 1080P AVCHD + 12MP still, with 128GB flash and a FW port to hang off extra storage

I’ve been playing with my video features. I uploaded a few things and they looked pretty decent. Important thing is good light, at least that’s what I noticed. Apple should have put a 5MP camera in it.

Hi, Kevin, this week i will have my G2 new phone, so maybe it will be a good idea to make a little test about video capabilities of the Android cupcake phones video recording, comparing it with the iPhone 3G s. Hope u can show us where is going Android in this way. Maybe isn´t as good as the one i see in this test but sure u can give us an idea of how it works. And if it´s so simple to upload too. Thanks in advance

Thanks for this post, I was googling the video format used for recording and couldn’t even find that on Apples site, which is broken using Chrome.

That is a very good quality for a device like this. If it wasn’t so expensive this would be the final nail in the coffin to make me switch to an iPhone.

Ironically, you’re a few months too late. It actually WAS on the market for about 8 months. Sold about 6 months ago. There is still a house for sale in here, but it’s the biggest one in the development… no small amount of change. ;)

Yup, you can get the source .mov files right out of the iPhone. I just used iPhoto to pull them in as if I was pulling media from any other camera. From there, you can use the source in QTPro, iMovieHD or whatever else you want.

Hi Kevin

I see what they mean by the wide open spaces. BIG BACK GARDEN.

All you need now is two goal posts and you have a football pitch (SCOCCER for you guys in the US.)
