Hello,
I've some difficult using mpeg generation.
Is it possible to have more than 600 sec event lenght ?
It seems to be not possible to generate mpeg file including more than 1 event.
Is it possible to concatenate events to generate mpeg files for 30 min length for example ?
Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, this is dependant on your settings for section length in you options.
2. No, but it might be possible via command line.
3. No, again might be possible via command line.

On #3, yes, but not with ZM, what you are asking for is a video editor, so you can splice together a few zm segments to make one whole video. Easy if you use avidemux, open source linux video editor. Do this: File--> Open --> choose your vid file #1, then if it asks to index the file, say yes, it may complain about your apsect ratio also, but that is no problem.
Then do this: File--> Append--> choose your vid file # 2, same answers again, it it asks.
Then do this: FIle--> Save-->Save Video, then name your file & save it. You can append more files of course. It is a simple video editor compared to some, but it does what you want.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for this idea.
For guys working with XP, It seems to be also possible to concatenate some AVI files with Winblows movie maker.
We also could extract jpg files to concatenate with winblows movie maker.
If some automatic process could be included into zm, it would be very usefull

For events in mpg (MPEG2) format and linux :
cat event001.mpg > result.mpg
cat event002.mpg >> result.mpg
......etc..........
cat eventXXX.mpg >> result.mpg
