Question

I am trying to retrieve the video format

Ex. my input video file is video.mpeg then I want format as mpeg

I used this function

double Format = cvGetCapturePrperty(capture,CV_CAP_PROP_FORMAT);

but it returns 0.000

Please help.
Thanks.

Answer 1

CV_CAP_PROP_FORMAT is not what you think. Check the documentation.

You are probably looking for:

double val = cvGetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC );
char* fourcc = (char*) (&val);
