Hi,
The documentation of videoWriter in openCV >= 4.0.0 stats clearly:
On Windows FFMPEG or MSWF or DSHOW is used;
The Problem is that in videoio_registry.cpp the directshow backend gets discarded because mode is only: MODE_CAPTURE_BY_INDEX and line 277 in videoio_registry.cpp applies:
if (info.mode & MODE_WRITER)
result.push_back(info);
My question is: Is the documentation wrong? Or in case it is correct, how to use the videoWriter and how to select a specific codec in particular?
tnx
