H264 with VideoWriter (Windows)

Hi there,

I'm trying to find a way to export frames with VideoWriter in H.264 format (or anything equally good). However I can't seem to find a way to do it. I've downloaded some different codecs that do show up if I use -1, but can't be chosen using the fourcc code. I've seen some different forum posts saying to recompile ffmpeg with h264 support, but I'm having trouble doing that (And I can't find any that are precompiled), and even if I did, will it even work with opencv anymore? Since they library it's using is spesifically called opencv_ffmpeg310_64.dll.

Have anyone done this on windows before and have an idea (or a quick guide) on how to do it? Thank you in advance!

Environment is opencv 3.10 x64 on windows 10 btw.

I also apologize if this has been answered before. I've been looking through many forums, and while some posts touch on the subject I couldn't find any with the answer I need.

You have to read this and download codec from cisco :

FFMPEG build contains H264 encoder based on the OpenH264 library, that should be installed separatelly. OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

becarefull read this issue and check which version is used now
