I'm not entirely complete with this yet, but I'm posting it anyway because the hard 90% is done, and all that's left is the other 90%, with which I could use some help. :-) #!/bin/bash # burnevents -- burn a CD with ZoneMinder event files on it # # Written Fri Jun 24 10:30:05 EDT 2005 by jra@microsy...

Posting that script now...

Hey, Don. I've got a client across the street from you; Gulfwind. I'll wave next time I go down there. Have a bacon cheeseburger for me, eh?

You using this for security or marine monitoring? Anything public?

I'll take a look. It's happened again over the weekend.

The machine is on a wireless link, but I'm having interference problems with it, so I'm not sure I can suck the log out.

I poked my head in on my first ZM install, which is in live beta, because I was wondering why the load average was up over 3. I found, amongst other things in the process table, this: 25189 ? S 0:14 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/local/bin/zmdc.pl status 25220 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/local/bin/zm...

I can't lay claim to having looked at ZMS's source yet (or, it being C++, even being able to *understand* zms's source :-), but it doesn't seem to *me* like it ought to be all that horrible to get ZMS to combine the things it reads out of the shm's before streaming them... as long as there aren't sy...

It's the *section* time. Is that true of mocord and record modes as well?

the best card is one with a chip for each input.

Does that help you any? :-)

Indeed. And immediately you start trying to hang more than one unsynchronized camera on the same capture chip, you lose *at least* every other frame, so you only have 15fps to *split* among your cameras.

If FPS matters to you, bite the bullet and buy cards with one chip per input.

I believe it means that the compiler itself crashed while trying to compile the code; apparently the GCC people want a bug report so they can figure out why -- indeed, compilers don't crash real often...

At the moment I'm at 320x240, and I don't remember what the SMH settings are. The machine is off-line until I get the wireless hung Monday morning; I'll pull a setup dump after that.

Do you have available a camera that produces NTSC output?

"rolls" is usually a symptom of NTSC v PAL confusion; B&W is usually a symptom of "wrong type of PAL".

As noted in another thread, I'm about 90% done with this -- it turned out to be much less complicated than I'd feared, since Phil gives good schema. :-) I got hung up getting a good ffmpeg-and-dependencies setup in, since that machine was off-line (it's going on-line Monday morning), but as soon as ...

The c30 is just the wireless c-10, and I have 2 of those running in 256MB real memory. What are you seeing in your syslog?

FWIW, I have most of a script written that extracts yesterdays events, converts them to MPEG (of your choice; anything ffmpeg will encode), and burns them on a CD-R, with appropriate names. I ran out of time on a short Friday to get ffmpeg working, but I'm pretty happy with the scripting around it; ...
