Source_CreateVideoFile

Using of command

This command is use for create video file. Command use OpenCV function cvCreateVideoWriter with ffmpeg library. Function create and open vodeo file.Than each video frame is write by function Source_WriteVideoFrame.

Commands parameters

Command has 10 parameters:
  1. Select Video writer: This parameter is use for select Video writer structure. You can select VideoWriter_0 to VideoWriter_9. We can work with 10 opened videos in one test program. Selected video writer structure will be use as parameter for commands Source_WriteVideoFrame( for write frame) and Source_ReleaseVideoWriter fro close video file.
  2. Path to video file: Parameter sets path with video file name. Click on line with this parameter display Open file dialog.
  3. Codec: You can select type of codec which is use for code video to video frame. Available codecs in ffmpeg library are:
    1. MPEG-1
    2. motion-jpeg
    3. MPEG-4.2
    4. MPEG-4.3
    5. MPEG-4
    6. H263
    7. H263I
    8. FLV1
  4. Framerate from: You can select from where framerate for video file will be use. You can select Variable_0 to Variable_99. In this case value in selected variable will be use as framerate. You can select also option "Number", than number in next parameter will be use as framerate. Framerate value is number of frames per seconds.
  5. Framerate number: If option "Number" is select in previous command , number in this line is use as framerate in video file.
  6. Height from: You can select from where height of frames in video file will be use. You can select Variable_0 to Variable_99. In this case value in selected variable will be use as height. You can select also option "Number", than number in next parameter will be use as height. Height value is number in pixels.Height value must be same as a height of a picture frame !!!
  7. Height number: If option "Number" is select in previous command, number in this line is use as height of video frames.
  8. Width from: You can select from where width of frames in video file will be use. You can select Variable_0 to Variable_99. In this case value in selected variable will be use as width. You can select also option "Number", than number in next parameter will be use as width. Width value is number in pixels.Width value must be same as a width of a picture frame !!!
  9. Width number: If option "Number" is select in previous command, number in this line is use as width of video frames.
  10. Colour: This option selects if video file will be colour or grayscale. You can select option "Colour", video file will be colour or "Grayscale", video file will be grayscale.
