[Motion-user] motion not creating videos

[gnat <gna...@gm...>]

Hello,
	I'm a new motion user that is having some issues.

	I'm working on a Mac running 10.5.5 that I had some issues getting  
motion 3.2.11 to compile. I'm using a TRENDnet TV-IP100W-N over WiFi  
as my camera source.

	The usage problem is that it is only grabbing 2 - 3 images a second  
for the stills and does not generate a movie after the event is  
complete. I've been testing in non-daemon mode with no messages that  
indicate a problem (just the image creation messages).

	The camera reports that it is running at 20 frames a second.

	The build issues I had (in case they are relevant) were:

	1) I had to export LIBS with my (MacPorts) lib directory for it to  
find ffmpeg even though I supplied the configure option for it.
	2) It reports that I don't have pthreads even though I do (looking at  
configure, it appears to recognize that I do, but does not set the  
proper variables for later).
	3) I had to comment out the BSD version of the setpgrp() call and to  
use setpgrp() with no arguments.

	My conf file looks like:
