I've not been able to find anything searching the wiki, forums or just out on the net. While I've come up with a solution myself by downloading the videos and using an automator script to combine the videos using imovie. I would like to know if there is a way to make a single video of multiple events using ZM?
I know that you can use the event filter to generate video for multiple events. I can then go and download all the video from the event manager by selecting what I need. The problem I'm running into is that selecting too many throws a URI size error.
Would it be difficult to add, if it does not exist?
Multi Event Video Generation
I have a perl script that maybe does what you're looking for.
It converts all the events into mjeg's, joining them where the events are 'close enough'.
In my case, 'close enough' means 3 minutes.
It's pretty hacky, but it may be a starting point for you.
I've put a link to it off the bottom of this page: http://www.dgmo.org/zoneminderpatches
I just run it out of cron once per day.
