One of the major drawbacks of the iPhone from Apple is that it cannot capture video recordings. Fortunately, a number of 3rd party application (apps) designers have solved this problem with dozens of high quality programs that give iPhone users the ability to record and share videos on their mobile devices. In this article we are going to take a quick look at some of the most popular and effective video apps on the market today.
A video app called 12Seconds lets users record 12 seconds of audio and couple that with pictures that have been saved on the iPhone. These photos and audio can then be sent to family or friends directly from the phone.
But if you actually want to record video, you will have to download the iPhone video recorder. This application can record for several minutes, after which you can save the recording in MPEG4 format. The program offers a number of image quality control features as well as different video modes. The only problem is that this particular application is fairly expensive. Presently, it costs about £15.00.
If you don’t want to shell out more than a few pounds on an official iPhone video recorder, the best alternative is an application called Cycorder. Though the video quality, recording time, and video features are not as impressive as the original iPhone video recorder, it is satisfactory for most users, not to mention that it is free.
There are several other quality apps for iPhone users who want to record video, but none of them, in our opinion, compare with the previous two. In the end, you will have to decide how important recording video on your phone is to you. If it is a feature that you seldom use, it is probably better to simply download a free application like Cycorder.
