In my program the video properties give me wrong results for the frame count and the msec of the frames in the video. e I know that it must be an opencv problem but I was wondering if I can compile from scratch opencv so that opencv can correctly recognize the video properties.

So I am asking is there a way to configure the ffmpeg or libx264 support so that opencv reads the correct properties?

I am asking because I do not want to do it through ffmpeg apis because i have better understanding of Opencv

What video format of your files? I convert all my video files to avi to make opencv work with them correctly.

sorry it took so long to answer. opencv 2.4.1 i am using and the problem exists only with avi files with h264 encoding. When I change them to mpg things seem to work but the problem is that the videos increase 10 times their size. So any ideas?

Are you using OpenCV version 2.4 (or later)? I know that this was an issue in OpenCV 2.3, but it is supposed to be fixed now.
