Blank video and error message: [ WARN:0] cvCreateFileCaptureWithPreference: backend MSMF doesn't support legacy API anymore
Hi,
I am running windows 10 ( 64bit ) with openCV 3.3.0 with C++ code with Visual Studio 2018. I used the OpenCV pre-compiled code. I have tried using the laptop built-in webcam as well as an Intel RealSense RGB camera, and Intel RealSense Depth Camera, and have installed the Intel SDK 2.0 for the Intel cameras. All three cameras appear in the device manager. All of the cameras yield only a solid grey color in the output window. I have tried specifying the camera as '0', '1', and -1 in the command cvCreateCameraCapture(0), with the same result. The enclosed camera test software was downloaded from an OpenCV forum page as an example of camera operation. Upon running the code, the system asks which of the three recognized cameras are to be used. I always receive the following error message regardless of the camera selected: (( The OpenCV code is below the following error message)):
How can I get OpenCV to recognize the cameras? In advance, thank you for your kind assistance. I am a novice programmer, so if possible, please provide an answer in simple terms!

<-----(( The OpenCV code follows):
#include<opencv2 opencv.hpp="">
#include<opencv2 core="" core.hpp=""> #include<opencv2 highgui="" highgui.hpp=""> #include<iostream> using namespace std; using namespace cv;int main(int argc, char* argv) { cvNamedWindow("KillCam"); cvWaitKey(500); CvCapture capture = cvCreateCameraCapture(0); IplImage* frame;
while (1) { frame = cvQueryFrame(capture); cvShowImage("KillCam", frame); char c = cvWaitKey(33); if (c == 30) break; } cvReleaseCapture(&capture); cvDestroyWindow("KillCam");
}
where did you find that ? link, please !
Hi, Thank you for your comment. I downloaded that code from a forum entry or tutorial page, but do not have the link address.
ok. good idea to ignore anything with
IplImage
in the future, no ?Yes, I agree. As noted below I have run the suggested code and received many error message that I listed below. Any suggestions as to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated. Monique
