If you don’t mind jailbreaking your iPhone in order to be able to install unofficial third-party software, you may want to try an application called VideoRecorder. As the name suggests, its sole purpose is to enable a video recording feature on the iPhone. But don’t hold your breath, there are some restrictions you should be aware of.

The application greets users with a simple interface similar to the iPhone photo application for taking pictures. You simply tap the record button and your iPhone will capture both video coming through the built-in camera and audio captured through handset microphone. When you are done recording, you will have to wait for the conversion process since the application avoids CPU overhead of on-the-fly encoding. What you get is a compressed MPEG-4 (.m4v) video file which you can play back, share through your YouTube account or email, all from within the application itself. DreamCatcher, the developer behind VideoRecorder, says that compression will reduce 1 hour “high-quality” video to a 60 MB file.  [via tgdaily]
