Vidnik Records and Uploads Video to YouTube
Posted by Gina Trapani at 12:44 PM on May 13, 2008
Mac OS X only: Fresh from the Google Mac workshop, new video application Vidnik records clips with your Mac's camera and uploads them directly to YouTube.
You can use Vidnik to create a video diary, or just to quickly record a video comment to attach to an existing YouTube video. Vidnik works with the built-in video cameras on recent Macs, with FireWire video cameras, and with many USB video cameras.You can also drag and drop existing video clips on your Mac into the left column in Vidnik to use it purely as an uploader. Vidnik is a free download for Mac only.

Haven't heard of vidnik before, good to see more simple-record video apps out there. I've yet to find one that includes essential audio plugins like a decent limiter, tho.
There's also FlickrBooth, which integrates with Apple's Photo Booth:

It uploads pictures directly to Flickr too, but not vids to Flickr... yet.

No need to download extra programs--Viddler lets you record right from your browser, and you get better quality than YouTube.

Is this better than the YouTube video capture (upload) speed wise?

I'd recommend only using it on an Intel Mac. My poor Powerbook G4 (867 mhz) beachballed and sat there while this app tried to convert an AVI video and upload it. Had to force-quit, or it probably would have taken all night.
'course, it was almost 600 megs to begin with… ;)
I'll have to try it with some smaller files, but I'm not expecting much better on this poor thing.

Of course you realise that iMovie 08 already has this feature (including recording from your iSight) http://marxy.org Peter Marks peter.marks@pobox.com "Where's there's smoke, There are mirrors."
