motion源码分析（二）——录像

前言：

之前的博文将ffmpeg编入motion的结尾，提到了motion的一些简单的应用。本文将以录像为契入点，分析这部分的代码。

正文：

刷照片的效果实在太挫了，让我们看看如何打开ffmpeg录像的配置。这里需要修改motion-dist.conf中的两个选项(采用默认值则不会录像)：

# Use ffmpeg to encode a timelapse movie 
# Default value 0 = off - else save frame every Nth second
ffmpeg_timelapse 1


# Enables and defines variable bitrate for the ffmpeg encoder.
# ffmpeg_bps is ignored if variable bitrate is enabled.
# Valid values: 0 (default) = fixed bitrate defined by ffmpeg_bps,
# or the range 2 - 31 where 2 means best quality and 31 is worst.
ffmpeg_variable_bitrate 1

第一个选项是设置每一秒保存帧（帧的数量由配置文件中的framerate决定 ），第二个选项设置ffmpeg编码的比特率。下面还有个选项：

# Codec to used by ffmpeg for the video compression.
# Timelapse mpegs are always made in mpeg1 format independent from this option.
# Supported formats are: mpeg1 (ffmpeg-0.4.8 only), mpeg4 (default), and msmpeg4.
# mpeg1 - gives you files with extension .mpg
# mpeg4 or msmpeg4 - gives you files with extension .avi
# msmpeg4 is recommended for use with Windows Media Player because
# it requires no installation of codec on the Windows client.
# swf - gives you a flash film with extension .swf
# flv - gives you a flash video with extension .flv
# ffv1 - FF video codec 1 for Lossless Encoding ( experimental )
# mov - QuickTime ( testing )
ffmpeg_video_codec mpeg4

这个其实该不该无所谓，因为编码器的格式在里面是写死的，稍后会提到。motion的录像在motion_loop（motion.c:1698）当中：

#ifdef HAVE_FFMPEG



        if (cnt->conf.timelapse) {

            /* Check to see if we should start a new timelapse file. We start one when
