Hey,

i'm using Abelcam PRO without any problem for a month now with 3 webcams.
It saves continious to my NAS server.

Each cam has it's own folder. But now there are about 70.000 files per folder, which it makes it very hard to open it.

Now I want to make a Windows task to launch jpeg2video every day at 00:00h to merge al the files of that day to a single video file, and store it on the NAS.

I launched the task like this:

c:\camscript\jpeg2videoc.exe /ifo="Y:\Images\Rechts" /ifi=*.jpg /ofo="Y:\Videos\Rechts" /ofi=Video_camera_rechts.wmv /delete

So this merges the files to a single files, and stores it to another location. Then it deletes the jpeg files.

But now the problem is that each time the task runs, it keeps on saving to Video_camera_rechts.wmv. So I only can save 1 day. Is there a way to put a datestamp in the filename, like Video_camera_rechts03112009.wmv?

Thanks!

Noticed something... If you want it to make multiple files, put START in front of JPEG2VideoC.exe or it will only make the first

Michael, thank you for publishing your script.

This might help with the loop
