chown mobile {foldername} is what you're looking for.

so if you're logged in as root,

mkdir /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/Videos

chown mobile /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/Videos

if the folder still shows in the 'wheel' or 'root' group, then you can also do

chgrp mobile /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/Videos


funny I found this thread, this was exactly what I was doing this morning too. Makes it very easy to 'sync' or download the videos from Cycorder this way. One thing I noticed though is that if your iphone is connected to your machine (at least in my case (Vista)) - If you make a new video using cycorder, it won't show in the Videos folder on the connected computer until you disconnect and reconnect the phone (it looks like the file list is retrieved upon connection and new videos don't show up until you reconnect again)

Good stuff...

Here's another nice thing... if you copy those videos using SSH to the 100APPLE folder and rename them to, say, IMG_0365.MOV (or whatever your 'next number' is) then you can now view and trim the videos in the iPhone's photo app a' la' 3GS. Nice!

...I haven't tried taking a photo after that though since the 'last number' used is stored in a plist file in a hidden folder under the DCIM folder.
