This looks worth a test run. I am curious as to how it builds the MPEG's. I would like a format playable on winboxes. The way I make the movies now will only work with mplayer on Linux. Example from man mencoder:

mencoder \*jpeg -mf on:fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavrc

...will put all the jpeg's in current directory into a single avi. Only thing is it isn't very 'seekable' (hourly only) I ain't sure yet how to use :vhq: and keyint= /etc.

The odds of me catching a bike thief are slim compared to the risk I might learn something useful about my Linuxes.

Thanks, farmer6re9

One of the cool things is that the image stream (video) is comprised of only those frames that were different from the previous frame (motion) resulting in surprisingly small files. One less-than-cool thing is the seeming inactivity of the app, with nothing in the changelog for over a year.. djp -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
