Automatic MPEG creation

It's really painful to click on each even to create the mpeg video.

Maybe it would be easy to implement a option to "automatically create mpeg" after each event or even better, to create mpeg for a given search such as create mpeg of all events for 1 day or 1 week.

In the next version, MPEG viewing of events will be possible though a file will be generated on the fly and not kept. The simplest way (though it's a bit of a hack) to always generate an MPEG at the moment is to set up an email or message filter with the video token within it. Even if this goes to /dev/null it will cause a video to be generated.

If you can tell me a bit more about what exactly you want it for I can probably come up with something better.
