hey tom - not really.  you can sort of do this kind of thing by setting
the timelapse to 1 sec.  thus getting the 1 sec movie frame time.  and
letting motion record at whatever speed you want when it finds motion.
its not the same as you describe, but might suffice.  i do this.  i use
the timelapse as sort of an overall keep watch kind of thing.  and the
individual motion-triggered movies for more detail when something is
happening.
