Video capture + dual bright LEDs is going to chew through your battery. It seems like Nokia doesn't enable those kinds of things out of the box to prevent people from complaining about short use time. Hopefully someone will add it on a "user beware" basis--is that app open to the community?
Edit: Out of curiosity, i wanted to figure out just how much battery life that would take.i tried to find out the power of the LEDs used in the N95. I didn't find anything specific, but let's just take a conservative estimate of a 40 lumen output. That means ~0.5 W power drain by the LEDs. You take a one minute clip and you've used ~30 Joules of energy. A 1350 mAh Li battery has ~3.6 V*1.35 A-hr*3600 s/hr = 17.5 kJ, so one minute of LED is just 0.2% battery. Doesn't seem so significant to me after all. Probably made an error somewhere. Hmm
