10 months ago Log added. The Log is from my wildcam. Here you can download the video: Test-Video1 As you can see, the video stutters extremely when motion is detected. The same happens (but a bit less extreme) on the i7. Hope i can also get a log. By the way, it doesn't matter whether the movement is recognized by the image change or whether it is triggered externally via http webinterface command (i have a PiR connected which triggers the motion if an animal passes the camera). Additional information: This is a Raspberry Pi Zero2W. If motion is triggered cpu reaches about 70% of load. So this can not be the problem i think. Here you can see the cpu-load: CPU-Load I also tried with codec mp4 and mpeg4 but result is always the same.

Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
I use motion (standalone) and in combination with motioneye. This on different platforms. My Wild-Cameras run on RaspberryPi (Dietpi, ARM64) and my Video-Server runs on x86 (Debian 12, Intel Core i7). I have direct attached USB-Cameras, MMAL Cameras and Network-Cameras over RTSP (UDP and TCP). And all of them have the same Problem: The Video runs smooth until motion is detected. Then it drops some frames (about 1s) and runs smooth again. I tried so many things, but never found a solution. I am not sure if it affects motion or ffmpeg. I think (but not sure) it goes more worse on newer versions of motion (and/or maybe ffmpeg?). I also wanted to try "motion plus" to see if it is better, but unfortunately i can't get it running on my Pi because it has Bookworm on it and there are only bullseye arm64 downloads available. First i thought it is a RaspberryPi-Problem (because of low resources) but my Core i7 has the same Problem. Does this happen only to me or is someone else with this problem? BTW: I have already been able to record four thieves. So i really love this useful software! I would appreciate any tips on how to solve this problem.
