Using cv::cudacodec::createVideoReader()
Hi!
I've decided to start using the OpenCV 3.2 CUDA interface and I want to use the cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter() function and writer->write(gpu_frame) to write directly from the GPU memory. I've successfully built OpenCV 3.2 with CUDA 8.0 and the flags WITH_CUBLAS, WITH_CUDA and WITH_NCUVID. I have also successfully read directly into the GPU memory using the cv::cudacodec::createVideoReader() function and reader->nextFrame(gpu_frame).
My problem arises when I try to create a writer to the GPU memory using cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter(). I then get an unhandled exception and an OpenCV Error saying:
OpenCV Error: The function/feature is not implemented (The called functionality is disabled for current build or platform) in throw_no_cuda, file C;\opencv\source\modules\core\include\opencv2/core/private.cuda.hpp, line 101
To me this sounds as if I am missing a package in my build of OpenCV, but I thought that cv::cudacodec:createVideoWriter() was included in NCUVID. This seems pretty strange to me, but maybe some of you guys know more about this? Any help at all is appreciated!
PS: I have also overwritten the version of CUDA 8.0 to include cuDNN. I dont know if this makes any difference, but I thought I'd mention it.
EDIT: Added the OpenCV 3.2 buildlog output.

Have you clone opencv ? ICan post getBuildInformation results ?
I cloned OpenCV 3.2 from the git repo yes :) I added the output from getBuildInformation to the original post!
try to build with BUILD_TESTS on in cmake . there is a test about video with cuda
Hmmm i'll try to do that. But earlier when I tried to build OpenCV with CUDA 8.0 I got a lot of errors when building with BUILD_PERF_TESTS and BUILD_TESTS on. I'll get back to this once I rebuild. Oh btw, another quick question. When I rebuild the solution, do I need to clear the build directory of the previous build? If I have to rebuild the entire solution it's going to take a couple of hours.
About cuda 8.0 there is this issue
you need only BUILD_TESTS. You don't need to clean your build directory (but cmake sometimes cmake will do it). I know with opencl you need to clean build directory because ocl are not build. For cuda I don't know.
'to take a couple of hours" have you build CUDA with only one architecture?
Alright, I'll try it! Thanks :) And also yeah I am only building the Maxwell architecture for compute compatibility 5.2 (+ 5.0 which comes automatically) since im running on a GTX970
Hmm I rebuilt the solution with BUILD_TESTS = ON but the problem persists. I still can't use cv::cudacodec::createVideoWriter() =/
Yes test change nothing but now you can try to run program opencv_test_video
I'll try the test project as soon as I get back to the office tomorrow morning! Although I don't think it's a compatibility issue...
Hmm when running opencv_test_video I'm getting a lot of errors, but most of them are related to the optical flow module, and not the cudacodec module. Do you want the output from opencv_test_video and opencv_test_videod?
