I have two problems. First, I have installed 1.25 on Ubuntu fresh install. I seem to missing the video convert option when I'm viewing events.

Second big problem I have:
I used to be able to convert a clicked series of events to one contiguous video. I also have a 1.24.2 install and all I can do is convert a single even to a video. I'd like to be able to click on like, for example, 8 non-contiguous events and have a single video output. I don't care the output at this time, since I haven't been able to do this in years. In like 1.23 I think I could do this easily but 1.24 and 1.25 don't seem to let me do this.

I really really would appreciate a response on this. I can't seem to find many posts on how to do this around at all.

thank you

Well, I answered part of my own question. I didn't have ffmpeg option specified under images.

That's fixed, but I still have the bigger problem of not being able to generate a single long video of selected events. I can generate one event, even though I checked off many, but not the whole set as one file.

Well, I've been reading and it seem like ZM might not be able to do this natively.

however, I was sure that in some older version I managed to make it do this. I would even be ok with an easy way to make multiple frames make a single video file and I can have an external program join them. Right now it seems real manual.

Any suggestions?

I already saw each and everyone of those with the exception of the last link. They don't get me to what I was asking for, but thanks for the help/links. I guess it's extremely manual involving scripts. I don't mind and I can handle scripting, but when I'm in a hurry it doesn't seem like this is the way to go.
