Analysing AVI files with GSpot

To check, if the needed decoder for playing an AVI file is installed on your computer, you can use the software GSpot (available here: http://gspot.softonic.de/).

Mind Mapping Tools - FreeMind vs. XMind

Until today I only used FreeMind to create mind maps. But I am thinking of giving XMind a try.

Writing and reading AVI files with OpenCV

If you write an AVI file using CvVideoWriter() and the option CV_FOURCC('D','I','B',' ') it is not possible to read this AVI file correct with the function cvCreateCaptureFromFile() the file will not be interpreted correct.

By using the FFmpeg interface, which is included in the OpenCV library, it is possible to read this files with cvCreateCaptureFromFile_FFMPEG().

Edit: this sample has been used with opencv 1.0
