EDIT: I just realised misunderstood what they were sharing… I thought it was the code for how they interact with ffmpeg… but it’s just the ffmpeg source code… but at least it shows you can use ffmpeg!
Interesting idea. PointGrey actually provide the ffmpeg source code used in their SDKs.
They require you to log in with a free account to access the file, so perhaps I shouldn’t provide the full download link here, but this is the text found through https://www.ptgrey.com/support/downloads:
FFMPEG source code used in FlyCapture2 — 11/21/2017 - 13.660MB
The FlyCapture2 and Spinnaker software uses code of FFmpeg http://ffmpeg.org licensed under the LGPL v2.1 (GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation). The ffmpeg code can be found online at GitHub - FFmpeg/FFmpeg at 5156578d1f486163d5b83f1d63246cd23d107933 or as attached.
It would be so great to have PointGrey camera support in VideoIO!
