I've done some more testing with flash enabled and have come back with some mixed results. The majority of my files, both audio and video, would not work when flash was enabled. The audio files that worked would have choppy sound that would cut in and out. I only had one video file with flash work, while the others I tested did not play back on my PC. The audio/video formats and the container were kept at default while the only change was the media source.

I'll try using alternate file formats with flash to see if they fare better than the default settings.

Video or it didn't happen!

I installed via the command line and it's running smoothly. One thing I've noticed: if you select mp3 audio encoding the resulting video does not show up in the Videos app (but does get saved to /media/internal).

That's it - thanks, Enormous. I had audio off - turned it on and set both formats to AAC / AVC. Videos now showing up in Videos App!

Thanks for this.

I have installed it and testing it produces video files which are 0 bytes in size. Don't quite know what I did wrong as I followed the install instructions to the letter.

If it's any help I'm running a GSM Pre on 1.3.1

This is fantastic! Followed wiki instructions, works like a charm! I'm beside myself at what you guys are pulling off over there at webos-internals

The original post says something about posting a donation link at a later time.. will that be a separate donation link or can we just go ahead and send to the standard webos-internals address via paypal?

EDIT : here's a youtube link to a test I did this morning with Precorder - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHnGV27zwA8

This is fantastic. As far as I'm concerned all this needs to be perfectly usable is some kind of feedback in terms of its working (as it sometimes doesn't record as you probably already know). Live preview isn't something I really care about at the moment.

I'll be playing with this through the day and try sending some tests through MMS too.

Initial test with flash is very good. Not choppy at all but the "focal length" of the camera has always been a disappointment to me. Maybe I just take closer photos than most ):
The camera will not be good for any POV videos.

So far so good screen timer went black after 30 secs but still recorded. I guess that could be a good thing or bad thing. Maybe have the app in landscape since thats the way it shows in the video file.

The bootstrap script should work for both the Pre and the Pixi, since we separately packaged the service for both armv6 (Pixi) and armv7 (Pre).

If it works on the Pixi is there any thought to change the name to something different? Just a thought. I really couldn't care less but I thought I would throw it out there.
