Homebrew developer Dream Catcher was recently able to update the powerful iPhone-oriented video recorder, iPhone Video Recorder. Stepping itself up by two iterations since our previous coverage, the newest build now allows users to upload their videos to YouTube directly, as well as enjoy the newly designed user interface of the app.

iPhone Video Recorder v1.2.2 is a very flexible and versatile video recording application which allows you to easily record those picture- (or rather, video-) perfect moments, play them back for your amusement, and even upload these videos straight to YouTube. The developer mentioned that updated versions of the app will be rolled out alongside new releases of the iPhone firmware.

Speaking of updates, here's the complete list of changes and additions included since our previous coverage of iPhone Video Recorder:

May 16, 2008, Version 1.2.2 Release:

• Custom Signature (Note: Only registered user can make custom signature.)
• "Tap screen to playback in some iPhone" and other bugs fixed
• New designed setting interface

May 9, 2008, Version 1.2.0 Release:

• A new stable video encoder
• New designed user interface
• Bugs fixed

The videos shown below take a look at some footage taken from a television screen using the iPhone Video Recorder. While it does show a slight lag in the sound, the image quality itself seems pretty well defined.
