You don't need a database. Look for
movie_output <on/off>
in motion.conf
"on" should get you videos stored in the directory specified by
target_dir </path/to//videos>

Thanks for the reply.
Running motionplus, but I do have "movie_output on"
I have changed the target_dir in the Camera section to one in my home?
to prevent any permission problems, but still no videos
Any other ideas?
Mick
