John, what exactly is not clear? You specify codec and this codec is then
used to create video files.

Ah, I probably see what you mean. The same config option sets codec for
both video files and timelapse. And timelapse only supports two codecs. But
I may be wrong as I'm not using ffmpeg encoder and completely switched to
ext_pipe, so my codec is always set to swf in order to be able append
timelapse. And I recommend everyone to use external encoder instead of
internal

The digest authentication has been issue for a while and I believe does
need to be addressed. Many of the current cameras will only support
digest or no authentication. In this situation, we are forcing the user
to leave the camera open to the world. I am planning on investigating
the use of that external microhttp lib for both the streaming
components as well as the non RTSP cameras. The RTSP cameras use the
ffmpeg libraries so addressing those would be a different solution.
