Publisher review:videoIO Toolbox for Matlab - Read and write videos on Windows and Linux efficiently and with broad codec support. videoIO is a library designed to allow easy and efficient reading and writing of video files in Matlab on Windows and Linux. It is designed to enhance and/or complement other options that were available at the time it was originally written (summer 2006).As a quick usage example, here's how to animate one of the test movies while transcoding it using the xvid codec (assuming it's installed on your system):vr = videoReader('tests/numbers.uncompressed.avi');vw = videoWriter('numbers.xvid.avi', 'codec','xvid');while (next(vr))img = getframe(vr);addframe(vw, img);imshow(img);pause(0.01);endvw = close(vw);vr = close(vr);On Windows, virtually any video file that Windows Media Player can play, we can read since we use the same DirectShow infrastructure as it. On Linux, we use ffmpeg's libavcodec and libavformat and can access virtually any file that ffmpeg can access. We have not tested this toolkit on BSD platforms such as Mac OS/X, but it is likely to work there too with little or no extra effort using the ffmpeg plugins.This toolbox significantly improves upon the AVIREAD and AVIFILE functions currently supplied with Matlab. AVIREAD reads video frames in batch, making it inefficient and/or memory-hungry for large video files. AVIREAD and AVIFILE support a very limited set of codecs on Windows and only uncompressed AVI files on GNU/Linux. The Simulink Multimedia input/output filters share these limitations. Unlike AVIREAD and AVIFILE; however, we do not support audio streams.Other libraries such as mplayerMex, dxAvi, and NetAVI come with other tradeoffs that are discussed in README.txt.Because we use the ffmpeg library on Linux, we are required to be explicit about licensing. On Windows and where ffmpeg permits it, this software is released under the permissive MIT license (see MIT.txt). When ffmpeg requires it, this software inherits the GPL license (see GPL.txt).
