Hello all,

I'm running into a problem reading a 10-bit, 3-channel encoded video that was saved from a high definition camera we have. I checked the file using GSpot, and it is encoded using the "Optibase VideoPump 10-bit 4:2:2 Component Y'CbCr" codec (v210).

I can read in frames using OpenCV's VideoCapture class from the file. I can even display the frames just find using OpenCV's imshow function. Unfortunately, the cv::Mat object that the frames are saved into is of an 8-bit type (CV_8UC3).

Here is the code that I am using to read the video file:

   std::cout<< "Attempting to open file:  "<< filename<< std::endl;
   cv::VideoCapture videoIn;
   videoIn.open( filename);
   if( !videoIn.isOpened())
      throw "Error when reading stream!";

   // Set up the ViBe-based background segmenter.
   if( !videoIn.read( frame))
      return 0;

   int type= frame.type();  // Returns 16 (CV_8UC3)

Like I said earlier, frames are being read and displayed, but when I check frame.type(), it returns 16 (CV_8UC3). Since I am trying to get the extra precision by using 10-bits, this is suboptimal.

Does anyone know how to actually read the frames at 10-bit?

Thanks!
