| 127836 | 2003-03-14 00:18:00 | Im after some software that'll take 1 image every second and put it into a vid file, pref. a compressed one.. It'll be running off an Athlon XP 1700+ so if it can save it as an avi with DivX that'd be mint! Ive got a 2.5 gig partition 'specially for it and Im expecting the file to nearly fill it up if I do a couple of hours of shots. I'll neet NTFS though wont I coz of the file-size limit with Fat32? Anyway, Software, that takes one image per second for a set amount of time (I'll be going for 6-12 hours), and save it as a vid file! Thanks Chilling_Silence |

| 127837 | 2003-03-14 02:10:00 | Can i ask why? every second,you just as well to video it. | BootyLicious (526) | ||
| 127838 | 2003-03-14 02:28:00 | 30FPS vid.. or even 15FPS... 1 second is a lot better for the current purpose of using it as surveilance! Its just a fun thing to learn/play around with. I had been using some stuff that came with my older WebCam, but it was less than ideal. Ive got a 2.5 Gig partition and it'd fill it up pretty quick. Maybe an hour or so! I know I should be able to get at least 6 hours.. maybe 12 with the right compression. The other thing is... I think it was formatted as FAT32 which has a 1.8 gig Filesize limit AFAIK or something like that.. but I have a 2.5 gig partition, so Ive re-formatted it as NTFS! Its just something to play around with and learn in between looking for employment :D |

| 127842 | 2003-03-17 06:34:00 | Howdy CS, While this program doesn't appear to capture images at the rate you require it still appears to be worth checking out as it captures images of movement. It's a linux program and you can read about it at sourceforge (http://motion.sourceforge.net) |

| 127843 | 2003-03-17 06:47:00 | I also just found this Zone Minder (http://www.zoneminder.com/) site which appears to be more what you are looking for. :) | Gorela (901) | ||
| 127844 | 2003-03-18 01:24:00 | Chilling, As part of Powertoys for Windows XP (not sure which OS you're using, but I'm guessing it's XP) theres a program called "Timer shot", which you can set to take shots every however long (you can set it to 1 second). Saves as JPGs, not video though (but it's fairly easy to convert to video after that). Not quite what you're wanting, I know, but an idea anyway. Mike. |

| 127845 | 2003-03-18 03:51:00 | IanJ> Great, looks like its what Im after, only Im on a tight, un-employed person budget here, so free is pretty much a must for this. I'll still look into it thanks :-) Gorela> Great, one more thing to add to my PC to do in Linux, only Im gonna need drivers for my Chicony WebCam first of all :( See my other thread here. And powertoys... I'll have a looksie at that. Im running WinXP or RedHat 8. Ive got 2K installed on it.. but I dont use that.. and if it works on 2K, then its highly probable it'll have an XP version... :-) Thanks guys Anything else out there? Chilling_Silence |
