So far, there was no way you could record Skype calls properly that is, with audio. (Note that FaceTime calls are a different matter – more on them later.) travelling), an app running right on your iPhone is essential.

However, in cases like recording Skype video calls, particularly when you don't have an external camera for doing the recording (because you're, say, outdoors e.g. Let me know if you need more information on taking videos with cameras – if you're active on DPReview, you may have noticed I'm pretty much interested in cameras and shooting and post a lot of comments / forum posts.) (Just make sure you use a camera capable of at least 30 fps video recording preferable 60 fps non-interlaced. On the other hand, if you don't have access to the sources of the title, you will want to use an external camera in a lot of other cases when the rendering speed is of extreme importance. If you're a dev, then, just run it in the emulator and record it with a decent OS X screen recorder – there are quite a few of them. An example of this is showing what, say, a high-FPS (frame per second) game is capable of. Just a while ago, all these new functionality has been added to the just-released 1.3.0 version.įirst of all, there are cases when you will NOT want to use screen recorders running on an iDevice. Up until now, I've waited because the developer has been promising great upgrades like seamless video recording and, what is more, audio recording.

I've long (since last June) been planning to publish a huge article on Ryan Petrich's excellent “ Display Recorder” application, which makes it possible to record your screen content right on your iDevice. The article can also be useful for owners of other models as it explains, among other things, how your videos can easily be rotated, how to achieve the best possible performance etc. UPDATE (): I've posted a full article on optimizing Display Recorder on the iPad 3 HERE.
