Email video attachment file format

Could someone tell me how to change the file format of the video attachments ZM emails? I would like ZM to email me MOV's instead of MPG files.

TIA!

In zoneminder's option page, go to the 'Images' tab. In the option 'ZM_FFMPEG_FORMATS', remove the * character at the end of 'mpg*' and add a * character after 'mov'

Actually I tried that already I am still getting them as .mpg files.

That's odd, it works for me when I tried.

Did you restart Zoneminder when you changed that field?

Are you able to create mov files when you click on the 'video' link of the event window of Zoneminder?

Yes and yes. Maybe I should do some digging in log files, I just though maybe the option was somewhere else where I couldn't find it.
