Unsolved QMediaRecorder on windows 7
-
I have been trying to get QMediaRecorder (from Qt 5.5.1) to work on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2013 and a Microsoft Cinema webcam. I have seen comments on the web that it does not work. Is that the definitive answer?
I tried QStringList audioList = mMediaRecorder->supportedAudioCodecs() and
QStringList videoList = mMediaRecorder->supportedVideoCodecs()Both return an empty list.
I also tried bool supported = mCurrentCamera->isCaptureSupported() and it returned false;
The video shows in the viewer without any problem but all recorder functions seem to fail.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
The current limitation of the Windows backends are explained here

Thank you for the reply and the info. I am trying QtAV transcoder but not having any success with that either. It plays video fine but won't create files but that is another issue. Since it is ffmpeg based it should be able to record. I have not found their forum yet.

I haven't used QtAV but I can confirm that you can write video files on windows with the FFMPEG API.
What error are you getting ?

thank you for your time and input.
I did a little more testing and switched the Visual Studio system to console to get all of the QT warnings. I was running the QtAV simpletranscode example using Visual Studio 3013. The information below may be more than you need to see what is happening but it looks like it sets the frame work of what is happening. The bottom few rows are repeated over and over until the end of the source file is reached. The normal ffmpeg files (avcodec, avdevice, avfilter etc dlls) are in the applications folder.

Did you build ffmpeg yourself ?
Looks like there are no encoder nor muxers built for that version..
