IPhone video recording with screen/phone locked?

Hi guys,
I cycle commute to/from the studio, and have had some close calls of late with idiot drivers.
Id like to use my iPhone to record my ride to/from work, just incase something happens.
Is there a way/app to allow me to turn the screen off, or lock the phone while recording video?
Thanks!

There are lots of dashcam apps available now. If you want to record the whole ride rather than the last few minutes, just set the record time to the max your phone memory can stand. I use ISMDVR in my car, it has a car mode screen which is mainly black but does give a speed reading and some other info.  I tried one or two apps but settled on that one.

    Is there a way or an app to record video on the iPhone 4 where you can start it recording and then turn the display off to save the battery?

  • Problem viewing videos I recorded with the phone

    When trying to view videos I recorded with the phone, It gives me a message saying it is impossible to view this multimedia file format!
    It has been recorded with the phone and it can't watch it on the phone!? It doesn't recognize its own recording format
    Help please

    If the format is in 3GP you can view it with a player called VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/), or can try a video conversion program to convert it into a format your computer can read. Once such program can be found here http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx

  • BUG: Videos recorded with Lumia Camera can't be at...

    In Lumia Camera 4.9.3.0 on my Lumia 1020 OS version 8.10.14219.341, videos recorded with the Lumia Camera software cannot be attached to MMS messages. It doesn't matter what size or length they are or wether they were recorded with the front facing or rear facing camera... they won't attach to MMS messages.
    Instead, I have to load the Microsoft Camera app record the video with that, and that will allow sharing via MMS.  It's a pretty annoying bug with Lumia Camera.
    >>I was told to post this message to the nokia forums here after it was originally posted in the Windows Phone answer forums here.<<

    Good day, adamz1977. We would like to know more about your concern. Are you getting any error message when trying to attach a video? Have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Lumia Camera app? How are you trying to share it? Is it via Photos hub or via Messaging hub? Let's try isolating the issue. You may try updating the system apps. Go to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. If you haven't checked if there's an available update for your phone, here's how: Software Update for Lumia with Windows Phone 8. We look forward to your reply.

    Hi there beee19,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • No Audio on Videos Recorded with OS 2

    Hello After a few days with the version 2 I just realized that when I transfer the videos  I recorded with my PB to my MAC, the videos dosen´t have audio.
     All the videos recorded with the OLD PB version does have audio.
    I have PB 2.0.0.7971 and Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Thank you.
    PS. All videos work great on PB.

    No, I imported by two different ways:
    1.- Direct from PB as USB.
    2.- Importing media from BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    In both cases same result no audio in videos recorded with PB 2.0

  • IPhone 5 Distorted Video Recording and Screen Flicker

    Love most of the new iPhone 5 features and the speed on LTE service is amazing.  However, my brand new iPhone 5 64GB seems to be having some issues.  Two main issues. 
    One is an occasional screen flicker consisting of 3 to 5 horizontal black or dark colored lines.  This is located at a point approximately 1/3 of the screen up from the bottom and running from the left edge of the screen to approximately the center of the screen.  The flickering lines are brief and occassional, but deffinately a concern.
    The other main issue is with video recording.  I've attended a couple of concerts/shows in the last week.  I used my iPhone 5 to capture a few video clips to share w/ friends etc.  The recorded videos have brief moments of light to moderate, easily visible video distortion.  There's a horizontal distorted digital shaking running the full video width, approximately 1/4-1/3 of the screem and mostly in the center of the video image.  It's not related to playback on the sceen itself, but it is the quality of the video recorded.  I downloaded the videos to my computer and they play with the same video distortion as they do on the phone.  I had previously been impressed with the video qaulity on my 4S.  Perhaps issues with over active "improved video stabilization"?  Aside from those things all else seems to be good minus some occassional delayed touch responses and seemingly delayed photo opening to view from text messaging.
    Hardware?  Software?  Bottome line, are these issues that may be resolved in a future Apple iPhone 5 / iOS 6 update or must I get back in line and try to get a new replacemnt phone?

    This is not an answer, this is just an additional voice to prove and to make it apperant to Apple that they have to do something about all the problems with the iPhone5. I have as TS encounterd the camera/video destortion apart from my bad reception and battery drain problems.
    I bought a 32GB black iPhone5, have already changed it once, because of the battery drain, from 100% to 70% during a night, in stand-by mode(no usage).
    This second one, still doesent live up to my excpectations, batterywise my 3,5 years old iPhone 3GS is at pair with my brand new iPhone5, video distortion when recording.
    I am going to change it today!! third time's a charm... Lets hope so...

  • Video recorded with iPhone 4, won't sync with iPad

    I have the iPhone 4 and have recorded lots of video of my baby and I also have an ipad (boy was mommy mad at the purchase amounts . Anyway, I sync my iPhone with my macbookpro and see the videos and photos in iPhoto. I then create an event (with videos and photos made with iPhone 4)and then check the box under photos in iTunes to sync with my iPad.
    I don't see my videos on the iPad with my photos. Is this a possible thing even? I am using 3 apple devices to share all photos and video to each and the photos appear on the iPad just not the videos made with the iPhone 4. Is the Photos App on the iPad capable of playing videos in itself?
    Any suggestions would be fine. I'm sure I will have answers that will suggest that I have a wrong format for trasferring but I haven't changed anything about the quality or way the iPhone records. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks red555, much appreciated. I guess going from an iPhone 3G, skipping the 3GS, I notice that the videos are clumped up with photos in that app on the 4g. I figured the iPad could do the same.
    Just wished that I could go through the ipad's photo app just like I would on the phone. Built by the same company, claiming the name change of iPhone os to ios because they are all the same, but lacking common features.
    What I want to know, in addition to the answer red555 gave me is, will the photo app in the iPad ever display the videos also or is there no plan of it due to apple restricting the photos app to hold only 16gigs. I believe people say it's due to indexing, but videos are just large files. Would hold less index if videos took up most of the space. I got an iPad for the screen size. Nice to hand off my iPad for grandma to see, rather than my phone, so she has to find her glasses to see videos
    I like this way. Can anyone add more options since apple doesn't have tutorials for this but they have them for other useful procedures? Thanks for reading my post over.

  • Iphone video recording format

    i have the new iphone 4 an ive been recording videos an what not, the videos look very good when i view them on my iphone but when i send the videos to other people including iphone users the videos look very blurry. I was wondering if theres a setting of some sort that you have to fix like with other phones where it lets u record for mms etc?

    A video sent with any cell phone via MMS is significantly compressed by the carrier. SMS/MMS are exchanged over the same network as calls.
    A video sent via email is also compressed, but not as much as when sending via MMS.
    There is no video recording setting for MMS or for anything else. There is no option to change the quality of a video captured with the iPhone and there is no way to change the compression of a video sent via MMS.

  • IPhone Video Recording

    Hi, i want to know how to record a video of the Application that we Run. I have seen there the application like Talking Tom and Talking hippo.. Please suggest any help...

    It isn't inverted by the iPhone. The orientation of a photo or video captured with the iPhone is included with the EXIF data for the photo and video.
    Whatever you are using on that swiss cheese for security operating system that is Windows to view the video is not recognizing or ignoring the orientation included with the video's EXIF data.

  • IPhone video recording capability

    Has anyone heard if the Apple iPhone will have video recording capability in the near future like most cell phones have besides just taking photo's!

    This is a user to user forum. Unless Apple announces it, no one here knows what future applications Apple has planned for the iPhone.

  • Can I video record with iMac?

    Can I record video directly with the built-in iMac camera?
    I am using OS X 10.8.3

    You have different ways of recording video with the built-in camera:
    1. Using Photo Booth. It's an application preinstalled with OS X where you can record videos.
    2. Using QuickTime Player. As db24401 said, open it and go to File menu > New Movie Recording.
    3. Use a third-party application. They include more features that you may want. I recommend Screenflow

  • Digital Video Recorder with Firewire 400 and new iMac

    I just got a new iMac which has only 1 firewire800 and no firewire 400 ports. My digital video camcorder has a firewire 400 cable to transfer taped recordings to the computer (I want to import using iMovie 09). So, do I simply need to buy a new firewire 800 cable that will plug into my digital camcorder? The reason I'm hesitant is that I've tried using a USB connection, and iMovie 09 didn't open and doesn't recognize that the digital camcorder is connected when I use USB. Does iMovie 09 just no longer recognize my several year old Samsung digital camcorder, or does it just not recognize it with a USB connection, and it will be fine if I get a firewire 800 connection that fits the new iMac? Is there another type of converter--e.g., a cable that allows a firewire 400 to plug in on one end and has the firewire 800 connection on the other end?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and got a new cable and now I can plug for digital video camcorder into my new Mac. Unfortunately, as I feared, the Mac still doesn't recognize the camcorder. I checked the system profiler with the camcorder plugged in, and under Firewire Bus it reads Unknown Device:
    FireWire Bus:
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    Unknown Device:
    Manufacturer: 0xF0
    Model: Unknown
    GUID: 0xF000FFFFFFFF
    Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Sub-units:
    Unknown Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x10001
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
    Am I just out of luck--the new mac just doesn't recognize my slightly out of date digital video recorder? Or should I be able to get a driver to make it work?
