Hello,

I am using OpenCV with java to record a Webcam video. If I use the "-1" fourCC prameter creating the video writer I get a list of all useable codecs at runtime. In my case this list only contains ca. 5 codecs. No MPEG, no h.264... I already installed codec packs like KLite but I won't get more codecs.

Can anybody tell me how to get more codecs?

Thank you. Kristian

P.s.: I am using Eclipse

About h.264 you will need h264 from cisco

Hello,

thank you for your hint.

I downloaded the openh264-1.5.0-win64msvc.dll but I can't find a way to install it onto my Windows system.

Do you can help me out?

This dll must be installed in directory included in var system path or same directory than opencvffmpeg.dll. See this issue

I installed OpenCV the way it is descriped here.

Than I configured Eclipse like they say here.

Than I copied the .dll to the place you sugested.

I still can only select one of these codecs:

  • Microsoft RLE
  • Microsoft Video 1
  • Intel IYUV Codec
  • Intel IYUV Codec (Yes, twice)
  • Cinepac Codec from Radius
  • Uncompressed

Here is my code:

import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Image; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import java.awt.image.ImageObserver; import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import javax.swing.JPanel;

import org.opencv.core.Core; import org.opencv.core.Mat;

                    if(g.drawImage(buff, 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), null));
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();

} } } } }

private void initComponents() {
    if (cameraID != 42) {
        camSource = new VideoCapture(cameraID);
    } else {
        camSource = new VideoCapture(cameraIP);
    }
    if (!camSource.isOpened()) {
        System.out.println("Camera Error");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Camera OK");
    }

    Size frameSize = new Size((int) camSource.get(Videoio.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH),
            (int) camSource.get(Videoio.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT));

    //int fourCC = oVideoWriter.fourcc('X', '2', '6', '4');
    //System.out.println("FourCC:" +fourCC);        
    oVideoWriter = new VideoWriter("test.avi", -1, 20, frameSize, true);

}

}
