YouTube Capture - Easily share video from iDevices

Google has released an app currently only available for iPhones and iPads. It's called YouTube Capture.

YouTube Capture allows you to record and easily share your recording straight from your iPhone or iPad to your YouTube channel. It has functions for color correction and stabilization in case you're shaky when you record what you want to share. It also allows you to trim off sections from the beginning or the end of the video right within the app.

This little app will allow blogs to be captured and shared more easily now. I think it's a neat little app!

Elgato Game Capture HD Software Update - Version 1.2

Elgato Game Capture HD software has been updated to version 1.2.

For those that are unfamiliar with what an Elgato Game Capture HD device is, it allows for recording of un-encrypted HDMI signals and also now for Live Streaming to Twitch.tv. It has a USB 2.0 interface which is compatible with Windows 7/8 and Mac OS X 10.7 or newer. Inputs include Xbox 360 (un-encrypted HDMI), Playstation 3 (A/V In), and Wii-U (un-encrypted HDMI). It outputs via an HDMI pass-through. Supported resolutions are 1080p (simultaneous 60 fps pass-through and 30 fps capture), 1080i, 720p (60 or 30 fps capture), and 576p.

The software has been updated to include live streaming straight to Twitch.tv as well as still allowing you to capture simultaneously. It now has a built in Live Commentary feature where it can record any microphone connected to your computer. You can find a balance with the game audio and even automatically lower the volume of the game when you speak.

Now you can also connect a standard definition gaming system to capture and even stream retro gaming systems. You can use the included component adapter to connect the composite output of your console, and still leave your TV connected via HDMI.

You can even capture your iPad or iPhone gameplay and even automatically crop the capture to the size of your app. With digital gain, you can now better control the volume of your game audio. There's a lot you can tweak, but with collapsible section and the new tabbed settings window, you'll see that finding options you want has never been easier.

iOS Youtube App Update - Finally......

Yesterday, December 4th 2012, YouTube rolled out an updated version of their App which is said to be optimized for the iPad and Iphone 5.

Per the description within the App update on my iPhone 4S the updates, version 1.1.0.4136, includes;
-Streaming video with AirPlay
-Tap logo to open your Guide of channels
-Add and remove videos from your playlists
-Clickable links in video descriptions (I know that's a welcome addition for me)
-Improved accessibility with VoiceOver

The YouTube app was pre-loaded by default on all iPhones since 2007 but recently with iOS 6.0 Apple dropped it and it made it's debut within the Apple Store in September of this year.

Having a standalone App allows YouTube to provide updates to it's App like it did with this one instead of having to wait for an iOS update like in the past.  The free updated App is available now in the App Store so what are you waiting for, go download that update!

UbuntuAddicted sets his 2012 goals

Ubu is a 32 year old adult Xbox 360 gamer who enjoys teaching himself new skills. He is a family man, a self-taught technical guru of almost all things (if not already will teach myself), an Ubuntu and FOSS advocate who was intrigued to learn about video game capture within Ubuntu Linux.

Over 1.5 years later Ubu is a social media power user on twitter and soon realized the important of networking within YouTube just like you would do for a traditional career. 

I am on most social media networks and attempting to create my social media foundation from twitter and work upwards from there, claw and fight my way into what seems like a closed-knit clique of YouTube celebraties. I am confident that with my skill set, I can offer something others can not or do not wish to. Example: Whiteboy7thSt apartment was broken into while he was away. I can help protect him better by installing a whole DVR type Security System or even a trigger system so he his notified via email when someone enters his home using, this with motion sensors. Another example was that Ons1augh7 and Bash had websites created and hosted on GoDaddy, whoever the website creator was didn't realize that both of their personal info was left in plain view within in the "whois" database so I easily found their full names and address. Did I use the information malisouly? NO, I informed them they need to get the admin in charge of their sites to change what the "whois" database shows about them.

By the end of 2012 I have a goal to be partnered with Youtube as well as Machinima and still use a 480p capture card. IF money comes in where I can justify an HD capture card it will be the Haugpauge Collosis versus the external HD-PVR. Check out xxSrcxxx COD YT channel as that's what he uses and it's some sick ass quality. It's $30 cheaper as well.

Wish me luck
