Jay Freeman the creator of Cydia releases a video recorder named Cycorder. Available via cydia.
It is a free video recorder, but with no sound. Unlike Iphone Video Recorder this application "converts" on the fly, so there is NO waiting time after recording.
Works very well. In the screens below it is said sound will be made available soon, but may not be free.

Thanks. Checking it out now.

/* Edit */

Wow, not bad at all! I love that it doesn't have to do a compression thing. File size is rather large though. 17 seconds is like 5mb.

I wouldn't mind an option to compress it later, but this is fine for now, picture looks great.

I hope it stays free. I can live with the ads, just not with a solid price.

This is an excellent video recorder! I did not know the iPhone could produce videos at such high quality. Once they add the functions of sound, email, uploading to various sites. This will be one hot app!

and if he updates it like he does cydia i am sure we will have sound in no time

No chance of this in the App Store? But on the bright side, he isnt fleecing everyone $20 for an app. I know it is rough around the edges right now, but Im sure it will continue to be developed to have sound etc...

I don't understand why this can't be provided through the app store. The only possible reason why something like this wouldn't be there is if apple planned on rolling out something similar itself.

Well it pretty much means that, but no timetable of course so possibly for the September update but that will probably be headlined by Push notification, so I predict we will keep waiting...

Looks really promising!

Works pretty good! One note - if you plan to transfer the videos off the phone, make sure you orient it to keep the info bar (the one that says "Cycorder," space available, etc) on the top as you record (in other works make sure the home button is facing to the right) otherwise the video is rotated within the saved .mov file. I had held the phone upright (home button down) when I recorded my first video and when I watched it back on the laptop, it was rotated 90* counter-clockwise. Small bug I think, but I'm sure that'll get touched up in the future.

2 megs for 12 seconds leads me to believe this isn't exactly being transcoded, bur rather just encapsulated in a .mov wrapper like Showtime did. The only difference in this case is that Cycorder adjusts the RGB differences on-the-fly rather than requiring a desktop tool to fix the video file for local playback like Showtime had.

Very clean for a first release, and I hope for some sort of premium version because I hate to view ads in my apps.

I'd rather have compression to make the file size smaller, like iPhone Video Recorder. Then it's easier to share that video later via whichever site you choose.

In iPhoneVideoRecorder, I just take all the video I want, cancel the encoding process, then do it later when I'm not using my phone.

how can i get the videos off my phone? what folder is it in, in SSH?

Same here. I don't bother with encoding anything until I'm doing something else and I just let it go.
