media-video/Motion problem (Solved...)

[AliasXZ]

Hi guys

I have a webcam to look over the cars we have since we have had trouble with kids etc, its been running fine foe years, after a system update, all of a sudden, motion will not capture video, it crashes and dumps the frames. ffmpeg is used ot encode what motion captures, I have tried using every codec available in motions config and fffmpeg i compiled with xvid, aac, support

Motion version 3211
ffmpeg version 049 p20090201

I am aware that any version above 048 of ffmpeg no longer support mpeg1, never used that anyway

Are there any alternatives to replace motion or does anyone have any idea whats wrong?

thanks in advance

yes it works well, one time the kids were messing with my car, setting the alarm off all the time, reviewed the footage, went out and found the culprit, he was really shocked and hasnt been near since
