First Look: Pixelpipe 1.4.1
So you got a shiny new 3GS (no more space!) and are looking for new ways to play with the new videos you've recorded? If the iPhone's built in YouTube uploading functionality isn't quite enough for you, Pixelpipe has stepped in to fill the void and allow you to send that video (or photo) to over 40 services quickly and easily.
I set up the application to send to Twitter and Picasa, and the uploads went exactly as advertised. It should be noted that when sending video to services that don't support direct uploads (such as Twitter), the video is sent to Pixelpipe's servers and linked from your account. On the Pixelpipe site, the video is displayed in its native .mov format, so PC owners may have a hard time viewing the video if they don't have QuickTime installed.
Pixelpipe (iTunes link) is a free download and supports uploading video to 40 services. Sorry, iPod touch users, this one is an iPhone-only application.

But said PC owners are also iPhone owners, and therefore have installed iTunes= have quicktime :-)

you have to use cydia to install the enabler app for cycorder vids to show inside of pixelpipe. it's called PPVideoEnabler.

Does Pixelpipe recompress the video like the built in uploader does, or does it upload the full-size video? The recompressed video does not look as good.

No it doesn't... get the iphone app and upload from there... full HQ quality... no size lost... it is the best out there for sharing video!

very useful app, helps tremendously when having more than one social network / blogging site / picture sharing.
They support all well known web 2.0 sites, along with many lesser known ones.

This is the best service out there for the iPhone 3GS and social networking.
- Able to playback video on the iphone
- FULL HQ uploads with the iphone app
- Pushes your pix/vids to 100s of social networking sites
- Nice clean landing page for people to view for media
...I used to be a huge fan of posterous, but they are way behind. I really needed a site that had video playback on the phone and that can push it to my facebook. yFrog cant push... so Pixelpipe rules!
I am very very happy with the service so far... and it seems to be ran by some regular guy... which is nicer then the company ran ones.
