hi, I have installed ffmpeg 0.4.9-pre1 but there is a probblem when I generate mpeg from the motion detected jpeg files.

-----------------------
Error Message:
-----------------------
Duration: 00:00:07.3, bitrate: N/A
Stream #0.0: Video: rawvideo, yuvj420p, 320x240, 8.21 fps

Error while opening codec for stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

Error: 1 at /usr/local/zm/bin/zmvideo.pl line 274.

I find that zm runs following command with erro:
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -y -r 8.21 -s 320x240 -i %03d-capture.jpg Event-195.mpg > mpeg.log
I tried to remove "-r 8.21", then it can generate the mpeg successfully. But the frame rates seem nor normal, it runs very fast. Therefore, I cannot remove this "-r" parameter in ZM.

Any one can advise how to solve it? Thanks.

I have solved.

Thanks a lot.

Could you please postt your solution?

I had same problem.
Fixed by adding -strict -1 to ffmpeg generation parameters as reported elsewhere in the forum.

Thanks...

Now it works perfectly.
