FaceTime video recording?

I've currently been scouring the description of FaceTime for this and have yet to find anything about it. I believe that it would be really neat that if while using FaceTime the iPhone would have the ability to record video from the 720p camera on the back. This not only applies to the main person who is using the 720p camera for FaceTime to be able to record this data, but also for the other person to record it as well. As far as I can tell it would be pretty simple to achieve this, especially for the main person using FaceTime because the 720p camera is already being utilized to view the information. So really how much harder would it be for the iPhone to just record the information at the touch of a button as well? Though I do believe it might be harder on the end of the receiving iPhone with FaceTime to do this because it is being streamed through Wi-Fi, but at the same time I could be wrong because the information is already being sent from the main FaceTime iPhone to the other FaceTime iPhone. So my main point right now is that the data is there, so why not just record it at the same time? Like I said, this could also be a very nice feature to have incorporated into FaceTime. For example iPhone 4 #1 makes a FaceTime call to iPhone 4 #2 because a friend is about to do something amazing and iPhone #1 doesn't want iPhone #2 to miss it. So iPhone #1 is streaming this really amazing video over Wi-Fi to iPhone #2 using FaceTime and the 720p camera, which is nice because now iPhone #2 hasn't missed out on the something amazing. But what if iPhone #1 or #2 wanted to record the video that is being streamed as well? This is where the idea of recording would come in handy, and it would kind of be like DVR, but on an iPhone through the use of FaceTime. Now to finish up this awfully long post, sorry for that, I would like to know anyone's opinion on this idea and if this might be implemented in a future iOS update to the iPhone 4, or will it have to wait until the next iPhone because of hardware restraints?

Well it's fine if this isn't a direct link to Apple, that really doesn't matter, but I would still like to know what people think about the idea. Like the probability that it will happen or if it's a good idea or not.

  • Audio Issues in Facetime & Video Recording

    I'm having some major mic issues when using FaceTime or recording video on the iPhone 4. The sound is mainly static - you can just about hear other sounds, but it's very quiet and washed out by the static. The mic audio on calls, voice notes is fine - it's just on FaceTime and video recording.
    Apple support have no idea (the agent I spoke to seemed to think it was related to my network provider and text messaging, which makes no sense whatsoever).
    Anyone else had this problem? Any fixes out there?

    I was right there with you. I posted early on in this thread and was working with tech support on the phone. We worked for a few days and it was like I was having to do too much work on my end. Nothing was working and they were so busy. Someone else posted that they took theirs back and it was an easy swap. I had already made an appointment at the apple store as a backup so I decided to drive the 50 miles. It was so easy....the guy really did not care too much about me working with support. He just tried a restore and was able to repeat the issue. Not saying that all stores are like that but I have had very good results with other apple products and getting support at the genius bar. Good luck...but you may be waiting a while. Seems that the hot topic for them is really the "reception" issue.

  • Use FaceTime to record a video with screen sharing?

    I need to record a presentation, going back and forth between me talking and demonstrating my company's new iPhone app. The app runs in the Xcode iOS simulator on my MacBook, and my MacBook has a FaceTime camera (720p!). Is there a way to use FaceTime to record a video? Skype has screen sharing. You can just click a button and the caller sees what's on your computer screen. Then you click again to return to the caller seeing you talking. Does FaceTime have a screen sharing feature? Is there another app I should be using?

    I just did a little Googling and found eCamm:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
    It looks like it'll record a Skype call, and Skype has screen sharing. I'll download the demo version and try it out.

  • Will Apple make video recording in FaceTime?, Will Apple make video recording in FaceTime?

    I think video recording and conference calls while using FaceTime would make it greatly successful!

    It might also run afoul of wiretapping laws. However, submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • No sound while video recording on N500!

    Hello! I just bought Lenovo 3000 N500 for my sister who is in Germany...I want to check everything on laptop, because I want her to use it to skype me...Everything is lovely, except I can't get sound while video recording...Is it possible this laptop has a webcam, but no integrated microphone? But  when I  go and use windows sound recorder that comes with Vista it records audio...But I can't get video to work with audio recording in the same time...Anybody there with a solution? Thank you , people!

    Same problem. Here's my solution:
    For now i record video using an app calle "Video FX Live". It records sounds clearly. Native iphone app still doesnt records any sound.
    So this proves the sound issues during video recording or facetime IS an IOS BUG.

  • Record Level Adjust for Audio in Voice Memo or Video Recorder

    I would like to request that Apple allow me to adjust the record audio volume level when recording in Voice Memo or Video Recorder modes. Often I find that the audio is distorting and most times I cannot step back far enough to avoid distortion levels. While I love the ability to SEE the audio level in Voice Memo mode, I am hoping that it is only a matter of firmware upgrade to be able to ADJUST the record level.
    Also, if it is possible, it would be great to see some indication of audio level when recording video... something simple like a bar graph with green, yellow and red bars with the highest level reached sticking for a few seconds so that I can tell what the level is.
    An alternate solution (if none of the above is possible in a firmware update) would be to automatically adjust the recording level to prevent audio distortion.
    Thanks for the great iPod and here's hoping for a great firmware update in the near future!

    Thanks, I've submitted my recommendation to Apple.

  • How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

    How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

    If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime.  However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
    But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
    For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi.

  • CP 6.0.1.240 - Video Demo Project vs. Video Recording & YouTube

    Hello,
    I have a project with two small slide videos included.  I recorded them using Record New Video Demo and I embedded them on 2 different slides using Video > Insert Video.  Once embedded I added text captions etc and timed them to coincide with the video.  When I preview the video, timing is dead on.  When I publish to YouTube, one of the two videos delays noticeably and it throws off the timiing of all the related captions, etc.  I tried F4V and MP4, I tried uploading using the YouTube button and directly, no change.  I even tried manually pushing the timing of the captions out to see if I could account for the delay on YouTube but it doesn't have to do with the slide just the pre-loading or starting of the video on that slide.  The fact that I have 2 slides each with an embeded video and one works fine and the other doesn't is driving me around the bend.  I compared the two slides side-by-side and could not find any differentiating settings.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?
    Thanks
    Julie
    UPDATE:  I went back to compare side-by-side the videos and I have noticed a difference.  One is called a Video Recording and the one that pauses for too long is called a Video Demo Project.  I could have sworn I recorded them in the exact same way.  This sounds silly but does anyone know what I did differenty; why one is a video demo and why the other is a video recorrding?

    UPDATE:  When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved.  It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube.  I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself.  I will be posting a new thread for that.

  • In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

    In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

    I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
    still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
    excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
    like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
    In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
    Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
    mine who lives there.
    My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
    of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
    avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
    UK.
    Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
    go about having the device replaced?
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    Nice try! Take a hike.

  • Help me pick a new video recorder

    I need a new video recorder. Please give me some suggestions in the $400-800 range. I have used a Hi-8 Sony, but the sound went, got old, etc.
    My primary use will be videos taken for coaching and my family, which I will put into iMovie and eventually burn to DVD through iDVD. I have been using iMovie 4, but I will upgrade if that would be better. The coaching movies are about 25 minutes with many, many clips, as they are short highlights (2-10 seconds each).
    I currently (and most likely for at least one more year) use an eMac 1.25 GHz G4 with 768 MB RAM and a superdrive.
    So, give me some good options. I like having a decent screen (my current one is a whopping 3"), as I often show athletes their form during practice, although that is not my top priority.

    Hi! Purds,
    You didn't say where you were from. I had to purchase a new camera last semester and having no job, I had no money. I went to the WALMART Website and was able to find a good camera at the lowest price. (About $50 cheaper than I could find the camera anywhere else!) They shipped it right to my house within three day.
    And make sure it has FireWire! Sony has their own version of FireWire, i.Link, but you have to make sure that you can get the proper cable to use on the Mac.
    Always buy the best camera you can afford!

  • Video recording issues (it jumps and the audio sto...

    Dear Support team,
    I was very satisfied with my phone for a couple of months but nowadays I've an annoying issue with the video recordings of my Nokia Lumia 920. I've noticed in the past few weeks that there's a "bleep" or a "jump" in each video I take. (Nokia Camera software, Lumia Black, RM-821_eu_hungary_434)
    It's very dissapointing because every video is let's say faulty at some point of the video.
    For example please take a look at the following video at 0:34 where not just the video "jumps" but the audio recording also stops for a couple of seconds:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9R2x5Kx4c
    The interesting thing is that during the next 21 minutes it did not make any mistakes while recording.
    Please take a look at an another example at 3:31:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYQ5vNY-BUw
    If you're interested in debugging the issue I can send you somehow (by FTP or so) the original files as well.
    I have got more videos which are like this and it was shown like this on the phone's screen as well so I've ruled out the possibility to have an issue while transfering it to my PC.
    I'm assuming that possibly there's something wrong with the Lumia 920's RAM memory or with the 32GB internal storage drive, e.g.: let's say bad sector like on hard drives.
    The phone recently had it's first freezing while I was reading my facebook the phone suddenly went black and restarted.
    I still have 1,5 year warranty on my phone but I've bought ~150 km far away so I hopeI won't need to travel there and wait for weeks and to travel there again to get my phone back! What do you suggest?
    Is it possible that it's rather a software issue not a hardware? Or should I return my phone to the retail shop or is there any downloadable software patch to correct this issue? Is this a known issue to you?
    I've noticed one more thing: when I'm using my phone for e.g. like 10 minutes it's back cover gets warmer and warmer somewhere around the camera; I thought first it's because of the higher processor and battery usage but I don't think it's normal. The "heat issue" is also present while playing with a game.
    Info: my battery lasts for 1,5 day or so by very moderate usage, is it normal? (4 times a day wifi for 5-10 minutes, max. 1 pcs one minute call per day)
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Best Regards

    Hi All,
    I'm shocked about this device as you know I was disappointed due to the video recording glitches previously, but what yesterday happened is the worst I could ever imagine: I've recorded 3 videos and from this 3 videos 2 are unplayable even on my phone and on my PC, it gives an error message: "The video failed to play".
    The 2 files can't be seen in the camera roll only by using Pocket File Manager.
    I was able to copy all files to my computer:
    WP_20140802_21_16_58_Pro.mp4 - 661 203 084 bytes - playable
    WP_20140802_21_22_19_Pro.mp4 - 3939 658 131 bytes - unplayable
    WP_20140802_22_13_59_Pro.mp4 - 3235 991 965 bytes - unplayable
    To me these 2 videos are really very important, please help me to recover them! Please tell me, how you want me to send the files as they're, ~4GB each, by using Onedrive or how?
    If this issue won't be solved I'm considering NOT TO BUY a Nokia again! Can it be a hardware related issue, e.g. faulty internal flash? Should I return the phone to the retail shop?
    Regards
    Richard Mark NAGY

  • Error when starting new video recording

    When I try to start a new video recording I receive the following error:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -536870206.)
    I am using Quicktime Pro on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5. Quicktime will work with iSight but not with my PS3 eye (usb webcam). I am able to choose the PS3 eye from Quicktime preferences and the video screen will show up with video from the PS3 eye (so I know that Quicktime recognizes the cam). But the error dialogue box appears immediately.
    Other information - I am using macam.component for Quicktime and the PS3 eye works perfectly with Macam.
    Has anyone received this error before?

    I have not, but I do not use PS3 eye. If it is a "UVC" (usb video class) device, it should work with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later _without additional software drivers_. Some unnecessary drivers can conflict with your Mac's software.
    If desired, you can remove the file macam.component from /Library/QuickTime and restart Mac to see if the PS3 eye can work with QuickTime without the additional driver.
