This was one of the brightest meteors I saw on the morning of August 12, 2009. The camcorder didn't pick it up too well, but my still camera captured it no problem (even though the wide angle lens made it seem rather small in the sky). I had both cameras facing roughly the same direction (northwest, about 300 degrees and pointed up around 70 degrees). This was recorded in Milwaukee, WI at 01:29 AM local time, or 06:29 UTC.
There was another meteor shower here tonight .. but due to the cloud cover, there was not much to be seen... But luckily, due to my awesome hi-tech heat camera.. I was Able to see through a small layer of cloud and see two! They were beautiful!

I saw three of them last night. It was the first time I'd ever witnessed something like that. It was very pretty. <3 Thanks for posting a video.
