There are few paid video recorder available in iPhone. I tried one of them but was not happy with the quality and it takes too much time in saving video to the disk. Recently I tried cycorder, which is available free of cost. I like this recorder as it doesn’t take time in saving video. Quality of recorded video is awesome. You can’t expect better quality than this in 2 M Pixel camera.
To install cycorder, you must have jailbroken iPhone which is running firmware 2.0 or above. Go to cydia search option and type cycorder. Now install it like you installed other packages using cydia.

VLC has always been my favorite player on windows. I like its ability to play almost all the well known media formats. VLC is now available on Cydia in multimedia section.
You can also find it by searching for “vlc” in search section of Cydia.
I tested quality of video of different formats and many more in VLC. Below are some features it has
1. Ability to play stream video
2. Play audio content from your PC
3. Internet Radio player
4. Ability to play well known format video

The only drawback is poor performance of video of resolution 640X480 or above. It gives a good performance for 320X240 resolutions.

Below are the steps to install MPlayer in iPhone
1. Make sure that yours is jailbroken iPhone as MPlayer is only available for jailbroken iPhones which have 2.0 or above firmware. So if your iPhone is having lower firmware version you need to update it to 2.0 or above.
