Read m2ts videos via OpenCV

Installation

The support formats of OpenCV depend on ffmpeg. 

Thus, install 

sudo apt-get install libx264-dev yasm

git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

cd ffmpeg

./configure

make

sudo make install

if you can play the file with ffmpeg, you can load it.

Sample code

import cv

import numpy

capture = cv.CreateFileCapture("yourvideo.m2ts")

cv.NamedWindow("Test", cv.CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)

    

while 1:

    img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)

    cv.ShowImage("Test", img)

        

    c = cv.WaitKey(2)

    if c ==ord('q'):

        break
