Record Video With UIImagePicker

UIImagePicker is the simple way to record video. It is a portrait only camera (although the image obviously turns when the device is turned, the button bar is portrait only)

Add these delegates in the .h file

@interface MyViewController_iPhone : UIViewController
		<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>				//-ADD THESE
{

Then in your .m file

{
    if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
	{
        UIImagePickerController *videoRecorder = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
        videoRecorder.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
        videoRecorder.delegate = self;

        NSArray *mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
        NSArray *videoMediaTypesOnly = [mediaTypes filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(SELF contains %@)", @"movie"]];

        if ([videoMediaTypesOnly count] == 0)		//Is movie output possible?
	{
		UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Sorry but your device does not support video recording"
																 delegate:nil
														cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
												   destructiveButtonTitle:nil
														otherButtonTitles:nil];
		[actionSheet showInView:[[self view] window]];
		[actionSheet autorelease];
	}
	else
	{
		//Select front facing camera if possible
		if ([UIImagePickerController isCameraDeviceAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront])
			videoRecorder.cameraDevice = UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront;

		videoRecorder.mediaTypes = videoMediaTypesOnly;
		videoRecorder.videoQuality = UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeMedium;
		videoRecorder.videoMaximumDuration = 180;			//Specify in seconds (600 is default)

            [self presentModalViewController:videoRecorder animated:YES];
        }
        [videoRecorder release];
    }
    else
    {
        //No camera is availble
    }
}
