Iphone – Saving videos to photo library when taken from camera in IPhone

iphonesavevideo

I was wondering if there is a method similar to UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(UIImage *image, id completionTarget, SEL completionSelector, void *contextInfo), that saves Videos taken from the iphone camera to the u sers Photo Albums… been trying to look for it in apple docs but havent found anything.

Thanks

After digging around: The answer is there is no such feature in SDK 3.0, however it is coming in 3.1, the method is void UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum ( NSString *videoPath, id completionTarget, SEL completionSelector, void *contextInfo );, heres a link http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIKitFunctionReference/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum

Objective-c – iPhone camera pics come up rotated — CGAffineTransformInvert: singular matrix

The solution I've used is to rotate & flip the image as dictated by the imageOrientation property. There is some code here that will do the trick: UIImage fix.

A UIImageView rotates & flips automatically, so it's not a problem if all you do is display it on screen like that.

The best answer of this question can be found here. I'll paste it just in case something happens in the future which would make the link invalid:

UIImage* im = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:myCGRef]; // make image from CGRef
NSData* imdata =  UIImagePNGRepresentation ( im ); // get PNG representation
UIImage* im2 = [UIImage imageWithData:imdata]; // wrap UIImage around PNG representation
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(im2, nil, nil, nil); // save to photo album

Thanks to Ben Weiss for this.
