Thanks, I will investigate those. What I attempted -- and so far
appears to be working -- is:
Created a calendar alarm and...
1. Get specified items (Finder) - select the .mov created by EvoCam
2. Encode Media (480p/greater compatibility) - saves as .m4v
3. Synchronize (using Transmit) - uploads to my server
4. Get specified items (Finder) - find the m4v created above
5. Move Finder Items - move the m4v file to an archive so the link on
the website is always the same file name.
This worked viewing the movie on my Windows machine in both Firefox
and Chrome. Goign to keep testing.
I will continue to monitor these replies too.
