**simplyskate** · 07-30-2009, 10:59 PM

haha glad you got it working after, I apologise for all the comotion earlier. Yeah I'm gunna start work on trying to get that still camera open next. *fingers crossed*

Anyone else have any luck with the toggle?

**Burner911** · 07-30-2009, 11:00 PM

WORKS!!!!

All we have left is to get the shutter to work on our camera along with recording!!!!

THANKS!

Few bugs I've noticed (sorry to nitpick

)
-videos recorded after toggle has been set hasn't shown up yet. ?
-video always shows up next to latest picture

**macfan406** · 07-30-2009, 11:13 PM

I cant seem to trim my videos.. help me.. i can go into the interface and edit but the phone doesn't actually trim

**simplyskate** · 07-30-2009, 11:15 PM

Yeah I'm aware that videos dont appear once the toggle is set. You will need to reset the toggle for this. To fix this I would need the source code for iPhoneVideoRecorder.

Sorry, what do you mean by videos always show up next to latest picture?

macfan406, yeah thats happening to me at the moment too, however the trimming did work fine for me the other day. I'm now beginning to wonder if the CPU can handle it to be honest, it seems very slow.

**IvanPK** · 07-30-2009, 11:18 PM

It seems there is something wrong with compressing videos and trimming

No worries - Actually I don't think the latest picture thing actually happens - I was just confusing myself. I don't even know what I was trying to say.

Yeah, literally the only thing we have enabled so far is the editing of videos. However even that is hit and miss; it worked for me fine twice before, but now its not.

The next features to work on are compression, and getting the still camera back open. Also getting the video camera to work, but I highly doubt that will work on the 3G.

EDIT: As it goes I think I just figured out why trimming isn't working, I'll try to upload a fix in a bit or tomorrow.

Not just you bud, this disables the camera... when you turn off the toggle it comes back.

No I mean when the toggle is off I lose my little camera icon next to the SMS bar on my 2G I

**IvanPK** · 07-31-2009, 12:04 AM

Oh the MMS icon.. strange?

in a bit would be nice. i want this to show off to my friends

**simplyskate** · 07-31-2009, 01:01 AM

Okay guys I've now fixed trimming, it works fine!

Latest VideoEdit Toggle:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/znnnoj...ideoToggle.zip

TO INSTALL
1) If the folder is zipped, unzip it on your computer
2) Copy the folder to your iPhones /tmp directory
3) In the command line type "bash /tmp/VideoToggle/install" (make sure you are logged in as root)
4) After your iPhone respring's the toggle will be installed

Ignore any errors you recieve when installing, it should install fine, just check SBSettings (you may need to go into 'More', and turn the toggle on)

Ok I got this to work with the mp4 files I changed some code in the videoedit on file and I basically renamed the mp4 files to mov and it allows for trimming EVERYTIME, and with the smaller video file you can MMS it as long as you keep it under 13 seconds 20 if you use the lowest quality setting in iphonevideorecorder3.

This is the code I used please use at your own risk, also your videos won't show up in camera roll until you toggle the video edit on, however if you record while you have the toggle on you must first turn off the toggle then turn it back on. ok here's the change in code I'm highlighting the parts I edited all credits go to original poster I mainly edited for my use.

#!/bin/bash

#COPY FROM iPhoneVideoRecorder TO 100APPLE
cd /var/mobile/Media/iPhoneVideoRecorder/
find -iname "*.mp4" | while read I; do mv "$I" /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/; done

#REMOVE SPACES
cd /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/
find . -name "* *" -exec sh -c 'mv "${0}" "${0// /_}"' {} \;

#GET LAST VIDEO NUMBER
num="1"
last=$(ls -1 | grep 'MOV\|JPG')
num=`expr match "$last" '^.*IMG_$[0-9]*$'`
num=`expr $num + 1`
echo $num

#REMOVE APPLE DOUBLE FILE
rm -rf .AppleDouble

#RENAME VIDEOS
find -iname "Cam*.mp4" | while read I; do if [[ "$num" -lt "10" ]]; then mv "$I" IMG_000$num.MOV; else if [[ "$num" -lt "100" ]]; then mv "$I" IMG_00$num.MOV; else if [[ "$num" -lt "1000" ]]; then mv "$I" IMG_0$num.MOV; else if [[ "$num" -lt "10000" ]]; then mv "$I" IMG_$num.MOV; fi fi fi fi; ((num=num+1)); done

#VIDEO EDIT ON
cp /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.videoswitch.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/M68AP.plist

killall SpringBoard

**macfan406** · 07-31-2009, 01:11 AM

im just curious.. what was wrong with trimming and can you open the shutter?

**IvanPK** · 07-31-2009, 01:12 AM

If I have videos already recorded with Cycorder where could I rename and place these to be edited/ viewed in the Photos app? Is this possible?

edit: Oh and I also have no setting to MMS the video - is this normal not to have?

**macfan406** · 07-31-2009, 01:13 AM

now my still cam doesnt work in off mode
