Is 5 or 6 fps per channel for 4 channels ambitious or comfortable on a 1.2ghz mini itx board if the capture card had 4 chips on it?

the stuff coming out of china and taiwan is pretty reasonably priced these days, both in terms of 4 port video servers and capture cards, especially with volume discounts.

are there any updates on capturing h.264 streams or has the interest died down?

To my mind, the easiest way to get Zoneminder to spread even faster than it has already would be to make it easily scalable. For every additional 4 cameras in a system, just add a mini itx box with capture card and 4 cameras recording at 5fps on each camera. Add to this, define the length of each ...

...why not skip mpe4 and go straight for h.264? It's bitrate is 40% less than mpeg4 at the same resolution and framerate.

There are plenty of h.264 capture cards and video servers on their way over from China already
