I am working on a C++ project with openCV. It is a simple web cam application with basic features like capturing pictures and videos. I have already been able to save video (w/o audio). Since openCV doesnot support audio processing, I was wondering if there is any way I can record audio separately in a different file and later combine those together to get one video file.
While searching on the internet, I did hear something about using ffmpeg with openCV. But I just cant figure out how to do it exactly…..
Can you guys help me? I would be very grateful… Thankyou!
P.S. I have used openCV and QT (for GUI)
As you said, opencv doesn’t by itself deal with audio. However once you get a separate audio and video file, you can combine them using a technique called muxing. There are many many ways to do this. I use VirtualDub for most of my muxing needs, although it is windows only (not sure if that’s a problem). I know ffmpeg is also capable of muxing (via the command line interface), I can’t recall what the command is. There’s also mplayer and a multitude of other programs out there to do this.
