iPhone developer Drunknbass has been working amazingly hard for some time now getting video recording working on the iPhone. I've been following his effort and seeing him struggle with some major obstacles. It's not a simple thing. There are issues about capturing the data and producing output in real time. And here, sometimes events outpace us. I was hoping to post a real video with this write-up but since the software has already been leaked, I decided to go ahead and write about what currently exists.
Drunknbass's program is groundbreaking. It records 5 seconds of video at 10 fps and then immediately plays it back and proves that usable video capture is possible.

@Photar:
I'm sorry, but "innovative" and "groundbreaking" certainly aren't synonymous, and your definition chain (groundbreaking=innovative=new) obviously doesn't make sense.
If you're going after another commenter, either use real logic or don't finish with "QED".

I like the subtle Juno promotion that goes along with this post.
I've been wondering when something like this would come around.

A long time coming... This will be a great "must have" app once it's finished or atleast more refined.

The iPhone freedev community just keeps outdoing themselves. Kudos to Drunknbass and everyone else who's been working on this project.
Let's hope the source is opened so others can benefit and create some really awesome stuff.

Seems that Apple should hear all our prays and put this feature on the iPhone on the next update, and third party software w/o software certificate for the good of the community...
