I tested 'motion' on Wheezy yesterday. It detects motion and takes still shots, but it is not creating movies out of the still shots.
I have set: # Use ffmpeg to encode mpeg movies in realtime (default: off) ffmpeg_cap_new on and # Gap is the seconds of no motion detection that triggers the end of an event # An event is defined as a series of motion images taken within a short timeframe. # Recommended value is 60 seconds (Default). The value 0 is allowed and disables # events causing all Motion to be written to one single mpeg file and no pre_capture. gap 60 Can anybody confirm that movie output works on Wheezy? One thing that may be a factor in my case is that my test webcam is very slow. I am only getting one picture every 2 or 3 seconds when motion is detected. I have framerate set to 2 fps. Maybe motion is aware that my pics are too far apart in time and is deciding not to combine them into a movie. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
