Question

Im trying to write a code in Matlab that uses the function “mmread”.

At first I got the following error:

 "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\bin\win32"

I searched the web and found that I hade to download mmread and located it in “C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\bin\win32”, so I did. But still it doesn’t work.

When I try to run it on the command window, like that:

  mmread('C:\videosFolder\video1.avi');

I get the following warning:

  Warning: In the directory "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\bin\win32\mmread", mexDDGrab.mexw32 now shadows mexDDGrab.dll.

Please see the MATLAB 7.1 Release Notes.

And when I try to run my code:

  [~,audio]=mmread(pathname,[],[n n+1],true,false,'',true,false);  

I get the followinf error:

  Expression or statement is incorrect--possibly unbalanced (, {, or [.

Any suggestions ?
thanks in advance.

I just tested it, 2010a does the ~ but 2009a does not, so with 2008 you would have to use [temp,audio]=mmread() ingoring the content of temp
