I'm trying to import frames from a video with the extension .avi, using this piece of Mathematica code:

Import["video.AVI", {"Frames", {5, 6}}]

But I get this error:

Cannot import data as videoformat.

What is the problem?

  • $\begingroup$ Have you tried: Import["video.AVI"] Import["video.AVI" ,"AVI"] What messages do you get? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Searke Yes I did and I get an array of indices indicating each frame. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ faf, If you are willing to go through the extra effort to install ffmpeg, then this package looks perfectly suited to the problem. $\endgroup$

I checked it with 64-bit OS and it worked. Apparently It only work in 64-bit version of windows (7).
