[Motion-user] motion 3.2.4 not saving videos ?

[Janich R. <ja...@gm...>]

Hi.

I've used motion for about a month now (3.2.3) and wants to upgrade to 3.2.=
4
.
Mainly because this version doesnt halt if connection to cameras isnt
present at startup. But, Ive got problems with 3.2.4.
Looks like this dudes problem:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3D9460846&forum_id=
=3D45090

Snippet of results with 'motion -n -d 2' (notice the .avi):
[1] File of type 8 saved to: .avi
[1] File of type 1 saved to: /mnt/cam/3/image/2006/02/21/14/1353-00.jpg
[1] File of type 1 saved to: /mnt/cam/3/image/2006/02/21/14/1353-01.jpg

This happens with any of these combinations:
- motion-3.2.4-1.i386.rpm
- ffmpeg (any rpms & rebuilded src rpms)

- motion-3.2.4-1.src.rpm
- ffmpeg (any rpms & rebuilded src rpms)


In the light of my nearcomming desperation, I tried fetching the source
instead.
So, 3.2.4 doesnt work, but I got it running again with the appropriate path=
s
in 3.2.4_snap5. (./configure && make && make install)

And one other thing, I even tried rebuilding with a --target=3Dpentium3, an=
d
to my surprise it actually worked after a 'rpm -ivh --ignorearch'!!

Snippet of results with 'motion -n -d 2' (notice the .avi) (this is with
either 'solution'):
[1] File of type 8 saved to: /mnt/cam/3/movie/2006/02/21/143250.avi
[1] File of type 1 saved to: /mnt/cam/3/image/2006/02/21/14/3249-00.jpg

Now I gets lots(!!!) of these errors instead:
[msmpeg4v2 @ 0x978790]warning, clipping 1 dct coefficients to -127..127
(found some info here:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/KnownProblems)
[1] vid_return_code 6 (this goes for all 4 cameras, cant find any usefull
info)


Cant find any explanation. Works with Livna ffmpeg rpm & custom rebuilded
rpm targetted at pentium3, forced into an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+. :D
