Question

I want to read a MPEG video file as stream of frames. I am using

$readmemh("centaur_1.mpg",mem);

but it does not seem to work as its designed to read ASCII code from text files that corresponds to the ranges of hex characters. Any suggestions on how can I do it?

Answer 1

Check out the $fread() system task. This will allow you to open a file in binary mode. Check the link below for an example:
