[Motion-user] Motion and video loopback

[Sergio A. S. de A. <ssa...@ss...>]

I use motion to grab images every  60 second and upload these to my site 
(webcam) - www.ssaguiar.com.
I also capture video in timelapse mode (1 fps).
Also, I implemented the loopback and watch the video using zapping.

The command line I use to create the pipes is:
/sbin/insmod /usr/local/vloopback/vloopback.ko pipes=4 dev_offset=4

First question: how can I do this automatically, when the system start 
and before motion starts?

At the same time, using the loopback, I see the image from the camera, 
in real time, using the program zapping.
Second question: how can I use this system to, also, capture the images 
using mencoder, in real time?

The script I call, using the motion's on_picture_save is:

#!/bin/bash
#echo $1 >> /root/emailmovimento.log;
cd /root
/bin/cp $1 /root/webcam.jpg
/usr/bin/ftp -inv www.yoursite.com<<ENDFTP
user username password
cd public_html/webcam
bin
put webcam.jpg
bye
ENDFTP

Thanks for your help.
