This is a feature I would like. I know you can just download "Showtime Unlimited" from installer, but there is no audio.

I think apple should add it, but who knows.

Plus I recorded over a minute and a half with showtime and the video was a couple hundred mbs. Huge size.

You can record video now, i didnt try it yet, but here is here is c/p:

ShowTime gives you the ability to record video on your iPhone! The free version allows you to record 5 second clips…if you donate to the app you are able to record for an unlimited amount of time based on the amount of space remaining on your iPhone. The videos are captured at 6 frames per second at a resolution of 320×427. The app opens to the main screen. To start recording a video just tap the circle in the lower left corner of the screen. As the video records it displays the amount of time you have been recording on the lower menu bar. Once you have recorded a video…you can tap on the button in the lower right corner of the screen to get to the menu. From the menu you can select Saved Video or License Key. If you select Saved Video you will be brought to a list of all the videos you have recorded, they are saved in order as .mov files. Exmaple - 00.mov, 01.mov, 02.mov…etc. To watch one of the videos you have already recorded just tap on it. If you select License Key…you can enter your key to get unlimited recording time or, if you haven’t already, you can donate and receive your license key. To get back to the menu and then back to the recording screen just tap Back in the upper left corner.

Now that you have recorded some videos you are probably wondering how to get them off your iPhone! In order to get your videos off your iPhone, you will have to SSH in…the videos are saved in the /var/root/Media/PBFVideo/ if you on 1.1.2 and below, if you are on 1.1.3 they are in the var/mobile/Media/PBFVideo folder. Just select the video files and drag them to your desktop (or wherever you want them on your computer!). A five second video is around 16MB and a 13 second clip is around 45MB. The videos are a raw, uncompressed .mov file that is able to be played using QuickTime.

In previous versions of this app the videos were saved as .vid files and required the ShowTime application to play them. Version 1.11 now saves them as .mov files that can be played in QuickTime and do not require the app! The developer is working on a converter so that previous videos saved as .vid files can be converted to .mov files.

Downfalls:
*No audio is recorded
*Cannot change title of saved videos
*Have to remove videos via SSH Swipe to delete!
*Can only record videos up and down and not widescreen. It would be cool to have like an auto rotate option.
*Video files are large

Anyone have the proper source for Showtime Unlimited?

polarbearfarm source. i have the unlimited version, on the scale from 1-10 it's a 4, but so far it's the only option

how much does it cost to get full access to it? Is it the same code for everyone? I mean what are the chances of finding the key online somewhere, and having access for free?

So you guys are saying 5 second video will be 15MB? Can you email the video files, or only save them on the computer for now?
