I think I got to the bottom of the video issue. Both horizontal and vertical video at full size converts fine from the iPhone. If you email a video, the phone converts the video to a smaller size. For a horizontal video, we still convert it fine. But for vertical video that has been re-encoded to be small by the phone, we have a problem converting the video.

My understanding from engineering is that the metadata is not correct on a downsampled video from the phone, so we will probably have to do something hacky to fix, or wait for a new version of the apple firmware that fixes.

However, you really don't want downsampled video anyway, so this is a minor issue.

To get the full size video, use Image Capture (on a mac) to download the video to your computer and upload it to Phanfare. Or wait for the version of Phanfare Photon that can import video directly and wirelessly upload it to Phanfare. That should be out within a month.

By the way, in our defense, we had no advance knowledge of the codecs that Apple was going to use on the rumored 3Gs phone. Hence, we had to scramble to make this work, and I think the fact that it works at all within two weeks of the phone's release is a huge accomplishment by our engineering team.

Last thought: The high line park that you took video of is amazing. I definitely want to visit that park. I have been following that project for years.

The iPhone 3Gs and the account belong to my father. He is in France right now. He sent me the videos via e-mail, and I uploaded them to his Phanfare account using the Phanfare 2.0 desktop application and his username and password. I'm trying to get my father hooked on Phanfare so that he'll stop e-mailing me photos and videos. I'm a HUGE fan of Phanfare. I've been using Phanfare for a couple years. In fact, I bought the life-time membership when it was still available. Unfortunately, I cannot shoot any new video. The iPhone 3Gs and the account belong to my father. He is in France right now.

The videos dont look great. Can you test one in landscape mode. I think this problem is limited to vertical shot videos. Also, these videos seem small. did you email them from the phone? this is actually a social networking link and requires the viewer to be connected to you. where did you get the link?

I purchased an iPod Touch just to take advantage of the Photon features...loved showing off the slideshows! It would be awesome to have a similar app to use on the Palm Pre. Are there any plans for this? I've been a Palm Treo user for many years, and I recently upgraded the the new Palm Pre.
