dxVideo

  This library contains helper functions to read image frames into matlab from Video file using DirectShow. This library has borrowed codes from Ashwin Thangali s "DirectShow (DirectX) based AVI file reader", and it can read multiple video formats besides avi. Features: a) can read frames from rmvb, avi, etc. b) handles most codecs installed on the system d) its implementation is only based on the IMediaDet interface -- Depending on your Matlab version, the .mexw32 files may need to be renamed as .dll -- The library usage is as follows, [avi_hdl, avi_inf] = dxVideoOpen(avi_filename) pixmap = dxVideoReadMex(avi_hdl, frame_num) img = reshape(pixmap,[avi_inf.Height,avi_inf.Width,3]) dxVideoCloseMex(avi_hdl) -- recompile the library I have compiled the code with the DirectShow lib in Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (December 2004) -- known limitation a)only works for windows :( b)may be slow for big image frames and some codecs.
