Not sure if im right but on montage view i have all diferent times from the different cameras. Is this due to capuring at different pps speeds or something else Using ffmpeg and IE 6

Unless you are using mpeg streaming (in which case all bets are off) then all views should have the same time, at least to within a second or two (to allow for buffered frames in transit).

Actually, reading your message (!) I notice you mention ffmpeg so I assume you are using mpeg streaming. WMP likes to buffer up several seconds of frames so there is the possibility of greater variation in the times. Also if you try streaming a high bandwidth feed across a low bandwidth link it can get backed up and get progressively further behind.

it might be wmp, if i use jpeg's its fine but was trying to reduce bandwidth requirements thats all. what happens is 1 stream will just pause but the rest will contiue. Then after a while the paused stream will start up agin 10 mins behind the others. Then another stream will pause for 3 mins. Eventually u have 1 liveish stream and 3 streams covering the last 45 mins!!!
