ok, so i have a debian netinstall on a little sony laptop, i installed webcam (apt-get install webcam) got the conf file wrote up and some ajax scripting to make it all realtime when there is movement...Can ffmpeg take the jpeg it generates, stich those together and make a little avi file? idk what ffmpeg is capable of, but if its capable of that then i would run it in a cron job during x time.

also, this bbs needs a windows/linux fourm.

This should answer all your problems:

DORGEM (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/950505/use_dorgem_to_turn_a_webcam_into_a.html?cat=15)

Note: Contrary to what the article says - On most machines, dorgem WILL be able to generate its own AVI file.
