Hi,

I am trying to encode a video using X264 encoder, but I keep getting "Could not find encoder for codec id 28: Encoder not found" error.

I have tried CV_FOURCC('X', '2', '6', '4'), CV_FOURCC('H', '2', '6', '4') and CV_FOURCC('A', 'V', 'C', '1') all didn't work.

Tried to install VFW, didn't work too. I have "opencv_ffmpeg2413.dll" included in the same directory (Tried removing it after installing VFW.)

I am building using VC12.

You need to be using OpenH264 as described HERE. The FOURCC is H264 and the filetype is .mp4

It worked thanks :) But just a note that the latest supported OpenH264 is 1.5.0 and not 1.6.0.

After I have done a "make clean" and "make" and relinked libraries, I am getting the same "Could not find encoder for codec id 28: Encoder not found" error again, any idea why?

You have added the dll to the environment variables as in the linked issue?

Yes, I have tried adding the path to the three Environment Variables mentioned in that issue.

Not just the path, the full file name. You may also want to try 1.4.0 That's what I'm using. I assume 1.5 would work as mentioned, but I haven't tried it.
