So I got it working, think I'll attempt to make it work under 3.0 now. To be honest apple should provide ether the photo library API. Or a better interface. We all know why though. If they make it easy and legal to capture fast frames- then they wouldn't sell the 3GS as a movie device as well because people could make movie recorders. Ah well at some point I'll share the source for it (pm me if you need it *now* ). It uses uigetscreenimage() however so it's not totally legit.
