I just installed 1.3.40 on Ubuntu server. Everything working great, but when I have an event and save it as a video, the resulting video looks stretched wide no matter which format I export to.
Setting somewhere I missed?
Video looks normal, but saved videos are stretced / wide

1.30.4
How do the JPG's look? Does the stream look strange if you play back an event?

No, event playback looks normal; no stretching.

Re: Video looks normal, but saved videos are stretced / wide
I dug into this a bit more and analyzed the images and video from the Zoneminder server itself. For a particular event, the following directory with the images and video was created:
In there, I have 155 JPGs and 1 AVI:
Also, a bunch of 'analyse' files:
All the JPG files have the correct dimensions:
But the avi is flipped:
And I think I know why. For this camera, I have Zoneminder configured to rotate the camera 90 degrees, because of the view I need.
Perhaps the video creation process doesn't know how to deal with this?

How long before I could/should file a bug report?

Sounds to me like this is an actual bug. File away!
