i Have done more experiemnts on this and yes i can definetly export mpegs but... The quality is very poor, very blocky how do i imrove this? James What is your ffmpeg command line parametres like? I am using -hq -s cif I guess the -hq for high quality is the most important thing. Im am getting good...

Hi, I managed to solve the issue by downgrading to an earlier version of ffmpeg. So ffmpeg is to blame. 0.4.8 works without the -strict parameter. The end result is MPEG2 compliant. Phil & James: thank you for guiding me to the right direction. I still do think having a working method of MPEG2 e...

Thank you! I will try this!

well there confidence for you lol. Can we (i say we god knows why i cant do anything with it lol)/you use another encoder for mpeg or isnt there one thats any good? James LOL Well, I thought Phil had a reason to choose ffmpeg as the primary encoder. I also thought mpeg_enc was a dying piece of sw. ...

i second this but have been able to play back 0.4.9 ffmpeg created mpegs in media player without problems. Are you saying that you are able to view videos that are created with ffmpeg 0.4.9 and 1) the original framerate (in the ZM database) is less that 25 FPS 2) and you have created the videos usi...

Hello, This issue has been spread out in various threads for a long time, one of the latest being http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4013 In order to use ZM professionally this would be a problem to solve. Therefore I think the subject deserves a separate thread. Problem: by default ff...

the main script write all the videos "based on specific search" to a usb disk, so need to detect it "yes a plug&play on php". look if is format, how much space, do not copy prossesed events and many other things. like the use of ffmpeg directly. This would be very nice to ha...

Hello,

I feel a bit stupid but where is it posted? I cannot see the video creation script.

I need a way to create a mpeg video of all events.

Hello,

This feature looks very interesting. What would be the best buy of compatible low end cameras to test this out? I am talking about the models available in EU.

Hi,

2k but in what currency?

Hei,

I just received a comment of a user of the Sony camera mentioned above. The camera does not follow moving objects.

Are there any cameras able to do that?

The make and model of the camera is Sony SNC-RZ30P.

I am still waiting for an asnwer from a user whether the camera actually is able to follow movement.

Hello, Has anybody tried or even considered the following: what about using a dome camera that has a built-in motion detection? I have heard that Panasonic has a model that is able to "follow" (pan & tilt) moving objects. This feature would in my opinion be a killer app combined with Z...

Phil, Thank you for the tip on Spectra 8. The price is a bit higher than what I thought but on the other hand if it is good it surely is worth it. I guess there's a similar price leap here as in audio gear, too. You get the "typical laymans' stuff" relatively cheap but when you have to get...

Hi, I've been using Zoneminder for 15 months now. It is time for some technical progress. My main concern now is that the video input of the Bt878 based Hauppauge WinTV-cards is not good. I have verified the poor quality by slplitting the video signal to another device. Watching the signal on a larg...
