Record video segments using your iSight camera and upload them to YouTube.

Vidnik is the quickest, simplest, way to make movies using the built - in camera on your Macintosh and upload those movies to your YouTube account.

WARNING

I've gotten early reports, for some people, that the movies Vidnik makes work fine on the Macintosh, but when encoded by YouTube, the sound is a fraction of a second behind the picture. I've reproduced the problem.

I'm looking in to this.

Quicktime is producing MPEG-4 encoded movies with an edit list. The first displayable frame of the movie is a b-frame, not an i-frame. Other transcoders and players, when they encounter such movies, drop the initial sequence of b-frames from the video. I'm making a change to Vidnik detect that the first displayable frame is not an i-frame, and rewrite those movies, such that the first frame is an i-frame. I'll test, then upload a new version.
