Not unless you jailbreak your iPhone, which will require some time on your part to figure that all out. Here is an example video, shot from my jailbroken 3G. If you want to do this, since you're calling yourself a noob you will have to prepare yourself for lost data, void warranty (if applicable), lost time, a small amount of risk and a lot of research to make it all work. But then you won't be a noob anymore
Bravo. You need Cycorder from the Cydia app installer. Videos you shoot will be in a specific directory on your iPhone and you will need ssh running and something like winscp or filezilla to get them out. Good luck and post your results

Yep, that's what I meant by "lost data, void warranty (if applicable), lost time, a small amount of risk and a lot of research to make it all work." I'm sorry I don't have additional ideas for you, except two broad suggestions: 1) When you've had it up to here and are about to lose your cool, take a break from this project for several hours. You may have new ideas when you come back to it. 2) The video quality isn't that awesome anyway. Get a 3GS or a Flip
Okay, one more thing. This site claims to offer old versions of iTunes. It is possible, though not likely, that they're serving up malware or viruses. Be careful when downloading software from a source other than its author.

@SolidTango your iPhone is a Unix computer in disguise. We use ssh (secure shell, google it) to communicate with and configure Unix computers using a command line interface. Putty (google it) is a good Windows ssh client. Ssh can also be used to access the file system (folders and directories) on a Unix computer. This is done with software like WinSCP or FileZilla, google them for more information.
If you're still on the jailbreak path, here are the next steps:
Install OpenSSH server on iPhone so you can ssh to it. (Cydia)
Find out what the default password for the iPhone's "root" account is and change the default password so people around you won't be able to take over your iPhone.
Use WinSCP or FileZilla (or CyberDuck if you're on a Mac) to access the iPhone's file system via the scp protocol, using the root account.
Browse to /var/mobile/media/videos and download your cycorder videos.
