SelectCam is a videocamera application for Palm OS handheld devices for users who want to get the most out of their device. Videos are higher quality than the built-in Camcorder application. A single control on the main form can select the best possible quality, the most compact file size, or anything in between. Videos can be directly uploaded to YouTube, and links can emailed to your friends.

Any video resolution supported by the camera can be selected, not just the two allowed by the built-in Camcorder application. Digital zoom is supported. Every encoding parameter can be tuned: Videos can be optimized for maximum quality play on desktops or minimum size for emailing to low-powered cell-phones. Videos can be optimized for fast motion or swifter encoding, for continuous play or ease of editing. Videos are encoded using the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) codec, which is more efficient than the H.263 codec used by Camcorder on GSM devices.

Videos can be named as you record them - no more sifting through cryptically named files to find the right one! Date and time can added to filenames automatically.
