Recording Video

Hi all,

I am attaching to a Composite Video Device through a Video Capture card. Displaying the video as it comes in is no problem. I also need to draw some boxes and text on the frames as well as record. I ran across the following and was wondering if this applies if my compiler is MSVC2013?

One person told me I just needed to tell QMediaRecorder where the Codecs are, but I am not sure where to find them, or do I need to install them.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes it applies. The codecs available will depend on what you have installed and if you're using the WMF or DirectX plugin. The best thing to do is get the list available codes to know what you have at hand. You can use QMediaRecorder::supportedVideoCodecs() for that.

Hope it helps

SGaist,

So am I reading it right that under Windows QMediaRecorder will not actually record video?

From a quick look at the sources, it seems so yes currently
