You go over version 1.6.8, does this version will be the version who will support the mpeg4 codec. I’m a registred 16 cam user. Is it possible to test the 1.6.9 with all my 15 cam on an other testing server and continue to have in parallele the 1.6.6 production server ? I can not take a chance to test in production because the camera software is necessary. I’m curius to see if the luriot software will work best with mpeg4. The problem is the cam work best with mpeg4 so I expect Luxriot will do a better job to.
