Hi,
I am new to OpenCV.
I would like to know what video API / formats are supported by openCV. WDM? VFW? etc.
How can i check for it myself (manual???) without asking questions in the forum?

Look at this page:

http://docs.opencv.org/modules/highgui/doc/reading_and_writing_images_and_video.html#videocapture

Then scroll for the function VideoCapture::set

Choose parameter CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC
You can set it to whichever encoder that is used in your video

Retrieve four_cc codes at : http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php

And probably CV_CAP_PROP_FORMAT will also have something to do with it, but I cannot find any list on the internet on the possible formats...

Could you list the format that opencv supported? I am also curious for this. As I know, it supports AVI format.

For now I have been successful at combining AVI container with XVID encoder. So I sticked with that combo.
