[ SCREENIE ] Video Recording in 3.0

[va2sh]

Ok I see the plist where an additional camera is set to false, i am going to mess with it now

In the plist there are two cameras, one named still-camera. The still-camera is set to true and the other to false.

Its in the current camera app, its a toggle

Ok I know that I'm a white caner, but exactly where in the plist? I am in the root file system and I checked all systems but no camera file! Where should I look?

can you share you camera app files... i've changed mine to true and nothing happened... i also don't even see the icon files for that in there.. or is this another feature us 2g users won't be getting?

dugg for the empire records reference.

Heh glad someone noticed.

From Boy Genius Report, video recording will only be available in the next generation iPhone and not in the iPhone 2G or iPhone 3G.

Video recording is for the next gen iPhone not the current iPhones. Confirmed.

Hey guys, like i said before the camcorder does not work. Editing the plist just allows you to see the toggle switch. I dont know if it will work on the 3g in the final build.

BTW it is not confirmed that it will only work on a new iphone. A new iphone isnt even "confirmed".

EMPIRE RECORDS YEAH!!!! lol

[XChrisX]

Granted there isn't a confirmed new iPhone yet hope the camcorder works with all model phones. It's getting harder to justify buying a new phone everyone when my current phone works just fine.

[StealthBravo]

I always can find an excuse

Hello Anyone, I was just wondering how to enable the camcorder interface, because in my Info.plist file I have 2 options: still-camera -> set to true then another still-camera -> set to false, I already tried enabling the other still-camera option but it does nothing. I have no other options in the plist... I would be very thankful if someone could give me instructions.... Thank you!

[gsr101]

i hope they add a quick reply or send for it , i hate ending my games/apps to reply

[Jarcon49]

Yes! Good thing since I'm getting an iPhone in 3 days

P.S. I jacked the first post so none of you nubcakes can say "ZOMG FIRSTFRISTTRISF!!1!"

EDIT: Oh shart, i'm the one that got jacked.

haha,you were second.


ZOMG IM LIKE THE 35TH POST YESYESYESYESYEYES!

[jcraven8081]

Will this be avalable for the 3g iphone or just new one?

[wgm214]

does anyone know how to view this on your phone, i remember reading about editing some strings...

[njaunich]

Alright, I found out how to view the interface...

1. SSH into your iphone
2. Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/
3. Download the file M68AP.plist
4. Open the file using a text editor or a plist editor
5. Add a Boolean value under the capabilities dictionary
6. Boolean Key = video-camera / Boolean Value = true
7. Save and upload the file to the same directory that it was originally in
8. Go onto the iPhone and respring
9. Done! You now have access to the camcorder interface, but beware, the interface is slow and once you have done these instructions you will not be able to take regular photos.

[wgm214]

worked perfectly njaunich, the interface shows up and it seems like its frozen though, did u mean incredibly slow, or that it just never works at all...I've been looking at it for like 30 seconds and i cant click anything

[njaunich]

To enable some usage of the interface open the camera click the square box in the bottom left corner and then wait for the camera roll to load and then press done

[THEINFAMOUS]

1st Gen & 3G iPhones can record with the right program so IDK y this wouldnt be available via 3.0 Update unless Apple just wants to stick us for our paper. Dam....

[Pl4ter]

wow..this is really good news!

[wgm214]

Has anyone been able to actually get video recording working? Also does anyone know where the videos are/would be stored?

P.S. where did u find those instructions, I've been looking everywhere and haven't seen anything:/

After 3.0, if all the rumors are true (BTW, I'm upgrading to the next iPhone when it comes out), my only reason for jailbreaking now will be (in order):

iRealSMS (for quick reply and quick send)
PdaNet (if AT&T allows tethering, but charges for it, no thanks! I'll stick with PdaNet)
SBSettings (->*UAFaker*<-, Processes, and just all the quick toggles)
gpSPhone (I love GBA on my iPhone!)
Qik (not really needed, but still cool!)

I would miss MxTube (for streaming better quality videos over 3G/EDGE) and Winterboard (obviously for themes), but those are things I could live without.
