How do I setup ZM to convert events to video automatically?

I'm needing to retain video from my cams for as long as possible.

I did a convert of one of my events from jpg's to swf and notices about an 6 to 1 space reduction. (97MB down to 17MB for the SWF file.)

Everything I've read is great for manually doing this, but I need something more automatic. Is this being done somewhere via an addon or somehow in ZM that I am just missing?

Any assistance appreciated!

It's running almost 6 months now and makes an video from every event within the last 24 hours.
It has also an feature to make an drive map from YEAR/MONTH and deleting very old videos.
