Hi Amit,

The first problem looks like an issue with ffmpeg either not being built or linked correctly. It may be worth downloading and rebuilding from source to see if that makes any difference.

The second issue is easier. Instead of doing

update Users set Password="Zoneminder";

you need to do

update Users set Password=password("Zoneminder");

assuming you want it to apply to all users. You should also be able to change it via the Users tab in Options.

thanks for replying so soon..

i have installed the latest version of ffmpeg using rpm..

i was able to generate video , but last week i put my fedora core 3 machine on update and this problem is occuring after that..
if i try to revert to previous version than i fall in dependencies for othe libraries...

do u have any idea...
If i try to build from code i get errors..
i will try to post the errors to you...

You mention below about a users tab in Options. I have never seen this tab. Is there something I didn't configure properly somewhere that would have caused this?

which ffmpeg are you using ?
i have also had issues with ffmpeg-0.4.9.
I downgraded to ffmpeg-0.4.8-3.1 and was able to generate videos again.
Maybe there is a better solution but i used this work around

The'Users' tab is only present if you have ZM_OPT_AUTH switched on.

I've never managed to log in when I turn that on. I'm sure it's something I missed when I set everything up (probably skimmed over the part that tells you how to log in the first time when reading the install stuff)...
