I'm still new to ZM, but I have a strange problem. When I view live video my FPS shows up as a large negative number. Here are the specs on the system.

Supermicro X7SBA motherboard
X3220 Quad core Xeon processer
8GB Ram
CentOS 5.3 x86_64

I have 17 cameras on the system 16 via PV-183, and 1 IP camera. I had interlacing issues with the cameras attached to the PV-183 untill I dropped the resolution to 320x240. I tested this out on a smaller system using the i386 load of CentOS and had no problems. I used the 64-bit load on the production system due to the ram. The link shows a sample of what I am talking about.

Hello

I am seeing the same problem, very large negative numbers for FPS and also large numbers for the Zoom.

Does any one have any ideas why ths woudl happen.

I am also using CentOS 5.3 x86_64.

If I review the messages log file it shows the correct fps, but I still get the large negative number, plus the large zoom number. Here is part of the log.
