Note that I'm not looking for a cross-platform video I/O library, so I'm not interested in ffmpeg. I'm looking for a cross-platform video I/O API that uses the native video backend on each OS. I want that my applications use the native OS video libraries, but I don't want to write different code for each platform. I'll take a look at the advice by CTD. Thanks!

Ok, thanks a lot!!

Are you sure of this? I think I've read that OpenCV uses the native backend on each OS (ie: Quicktime on OSX, Windows Media on MSW, and ffmpeg on Linux). Does OpenCV use ffmpeg on all platforms?

Hi,

It's possible that OpenCV could be the best suited video I/O code for my needs. However, I don't need the "whole monster", as I'm not doing any computer vision stuff. But I need a way of doing video I/O on several platforms, and it seems OpenCV has the approach that best suits my ideas, because it uses the native video API on each OS.

So, I'd like to build only the OpenCV part I need...

Is it possible to build the video I/O part of OpenCV only? How? Can you point me to some page or site describing so?

Thanks a lot,
