Hi, I am trying to build the opencv with Microsoft media foundation. The build was a success. But Video Algorithms part are not working, When I tried to track an object using the opencv c++ implementation. Whereas the same programme built using ffmpeg worked well. My organization has restrictions to use only Microsoft Media Foundation(WMF) library. If you comment on the current development status for supporting the WMF would be really helpful.

Also, please tell us any pitfalls of using WMF?

"But Video Algorithms part are not working" could you please be more specific about your problem? What WMF has to do with video Algorithms?

WMF, creates raw frames for video algorithm.Like how ffmpeg creates the raw frames. So its not about video algorithm, its about how video is decoded and feed to video algorithm. So at present ffmpeg does that job well, but when I tried this using WMF, it was crashing. Looks like that feature is not present at all.
