I see - that's very informative to know. Maybe I need to implement simple
motion detection of my own. As a start I'm thinking of breaking a video
frame in constant blocks (like 16x16 etc) then detect change of pixels
inside each block.

Is this approach right, or do you (or anyone) has some good pointers to
motion detection?

Thanks
