Hi tosiara!

> and set pixel format to 21
My system didn?t like that option: gave the gray ?Unable to open video
device? window. Also tried with video0 ? same result. Camera1.conf was
altered to:
??? videodevice v4l2:///dev/video2
??? v4l2_palette 21
(video6 is for the other camera, so ?same difference?.)
Anything else to suggest? I?m going to play around on and off to see if
I can come up with something.

Hi tosiaria!
Ah! I think I figured out what I did wrong! I also needed to replace
?videodevice? with ?netcam_url?! You basically told me, I just didn?t
understand. I went back to playing with VLC, stuff started making sense,
? somewhere remembered I had seen ?netcam? and then ?mmal??.
So the proper command lines are:
??? netcam_url v4l2:///dev/video2
??? v4l2_palette 21
Which work!
Now to see how things work in the heat! (Still will install the cooling
for the cameras.)

Hi tosiaria!
You?re going to love me! Found the recordings and the live video stream
is highly pixelated such as when a car goes by: just the area of the
moving object.
We?re getting there!

Input pixel format does not affect recorded movie size directly. Both MJPEG
and H264 will be converted into raw 420 and then encoded into whatever you
have configured.
It will only have difference if you use passthrough which skips encoding of
the movies at all and writes the stream as-is
