I’m trying to stream in video to my Linux machine. On the Linux side I’m using OpenCV. I tried to find a list of supported codecs but couldn’t find any.

Where can I find a list of supported codecs that can be used with open CV?

Thanks,
Nahum

    From here:

    The mencoder video encoder is an open source video encoder which is
    available on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. To convert existing videos
    to the I420 format supported by OpenCV on all platforms, install the
    mencoder binary and use:

    $ mencoder in.avi -ovc raw -vf format=i420 -o out.avi

    Looks like the I420 format is what you’re looking for.
