Ok - I have other more serious problems - but just a quick one:

One of cameras has a 'jumping' image every so often. every 20 seconds or so sort of just jumps.

This is on a camera that is running telemtry over coax - but this isnt causing any problems on a machine with the same bttv cards, running kodicom.

One of the things thats occured to me was that maybe one of the things that could be causing it was termination. I checked on my multiplexer ( a dedicated micros one) but termination was off.

Its just this one camera - and another camera that also runs telemetry over coax isnt having the same issue.

Yep, i plugged the camera into a jvc cctv monitor, and it didnt jump.

Remember its just this camera, and only in zoneminder- and if i plug another camera into the same port it doesnt jump.

any1 have any ideas? Synch issue ?

I have no idea what telemetry over coax means, but I had an image "jumping" problem (in fact I think I used exactly the same term) on a cheap pico2000 card from Ebay when I was using more than one of its inputs (it's a 1-chip, 4 port card). So I set "captures per frame" in ZM from 1 to 2, and the jumping stopped. Of course this decimated my frame rate so I eventually bought a kodicomm clone 8 chip card, but it did solve my particular issue. Yours may not be related, but the symptom sounds similar.

Do you have configured properly the "cambozola.jar" file? This worked for me
