... would the hive mind recommend?

I want something that lets me record both the video and audio from my ipad2. If I am then able to add a voiceover track without exporting the file to another app then that would be ideal.

So far I have tried something called Reflections on a trial, which initially worked pretty well but now seems to have trouble synching up.

Anyone here that has experience reviewing ipad apps and stuff are probably in the best position to help here.

Obviously, ideally I am looking for something pretty cheap (but will consider all recommendations). I don't want to have to look at buying these expensive boxes and things that people use to capture video feeds from their home console to their computer, so a software-only solution is really what I am after.

Can anyone help?

For clarity - I have apps on my ipad that I want to be able to record footage of me using, complete with the audio from the app itself. I then want to be able to record a commentary track over the top of this footage.

Example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDgVlheu6XU.

Why can't you do it on your PC?

Because it's things like apps and stuff which I want to record.

An unboxing video of an app is something I look forward to.

Once I have a video file, what's a good free tool to edit it with?

Deleted user 8 November 2012 23:47:38

MS Expression is surprisingly not-terrible, I don't know if I'd say 'good' though.

@darkmorgado also, airserver would work better, maybe with a free screen capture like Jing, but that may just be mac...

You've had a couple of ribs removed recently haven't you!

It has been known.

You could at least get the grammar right if you're going to make up quotes.
