Revision history [back]

It all started when I tried to run a program like this:

VideoCapture cap;
cap.open("GOPR3252.mp4");

if(!cap.isOpened())
{
    return -1;
}

I couldn't open the video, even though I tried to manually add the codec CV_FOURCC('A', 'V', 'C', '1'). I read that this may be due to the link with ffmpeg. So I compiled and installed ffmpeg using this guide and this one.

Later, I uninstalled OpenCV, downloaded and compiled using CMake as:

cmake -D CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic -D WITH_FFMPEG=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release /route_to_software/opencv/

However, all the time I get this in the resume at the video section:

I have no problem making and installing OpenCV, but I still can't open that video.

Then, I tried to convert the video from mp4 to avi and got this error when reading the video file:

Unexpected list type. Expected: hdrl. Got: movi.

I am running out of ideas. Any clue what I am doing wrong?

I am using OpenSUSE 13.2

Thanks in advance,
