Layout of connectors on Impact VCB

:: O O O (ports :: is the s-video O is composite)

2 1 0 NC (inputs (ZM "channels")) channel 3 is the luminance signal of channel 2.
3 (2 in black and white only)
with awtv (note that without an S-Video connector you can only use Television or Composite 1):
"Television" is the middle composite port
"Composite 1" is the input port closest to the S-Video port (1)
"S-Video" is the S-Video port (2)
"Composite 2" is the luminance channel of the S-Video port (3)

The third composite port seems to be unreadable.

Supposedly, you can only use the S-video port and the middle RCA port (Channel 0 and 1 respectively). (Can someone clarify this?)

Spiritwalker: Documention works well for CentOs5.2

First, thanks a bunch to mudputty for putting this wiki page together. It was very helpful, especially since I had no other way of finding out which version of ffmpeg was supposed to be compatible with the latest release of ZM 1.23.3.

mudputty, I didn't see this wiki when I was embarking on my project to setup Centos 5, ffmpeg, and then ZM, so I proceeded with pretty much all defaults with Centos and even though I successfully configured/built/installed ffmpeg from latest trunk SVN, I fuddled around with trying to get ZM to compile with it for better part of a day before just getting frustrated and giving up. I then searched the forums and saw your post about this wiki.

I did a complete "make uninstall" of the latest ffmpeg and retrieved v11879 (the rev you recommend in your wiki) to a new dir (ffmpeg-prev). I ./configure 'd it, although I used the following configure options:

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-libxvid --enable-nonfree

Yes, I had to go through the long process of making sure all these other optional packages were installed like lame, ogg/vorbis, amr-nb/wb, xvid, etc. because I wanted ffmpeg support for them, even though ZM doesn't necessarily need all that. configure went fine. make compiled ffmpeg without issues also. But when I go to do a "sudo make install", I get this:

<pre>make -C libavutil install-libs
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user1/repos/ffmpeg-prev/libavutil'
install -d "/usr/local/lib"
install -m 755 "/usr/local/lib/.49.6.0"
install: missing destination file operand after `/usr/local/lib/.49.6.0'
Try `install --help' for more information.
make[1]: *** [install-lib-shared] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user1/repos/ffmpeg-prev/libavutil'
make: *** [install-libs] Error 2
</pre>

I'm wondering, did you get this also? Could it be due to all the additional options I've enabled with ffmpeg?

== UPDATE 2008/6/23: ==

Just FYI to everyone who saw my comments to mudpuddy's wiki page on Centos 5.1/ZM 1.23.3. I finally figured out the problem with "make install" of ffmpeg rev 11879, and I've updated the original forum post with my findings and how I fixed it.[http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=43294#43294]

My installation of ZM v1.23.3 is now working fine with MPEG streaming using ffmpeg. I hope this helped someone else in the same situation.

Thanks again to mudpuddy for putting up this very helpful wiki page; and of course, to the creators of ZM for the most excellent open source project of all time.

Cheers,

-Jac

== Documention works well for CentOs5.2 ==

CentOS 5.1 documention works well for clean install of CentoOS 5.2 and ZM.
