video =
read(obj)
video =
read(obj, index)
video = read(obj) reads in all video frames from the associated file. video is an H-by-W-by-B-by-F matrix where H is the image frame height, W is the image frame width, B is the number of bands in the image (e.g., 3 for RGB), and F is the number of frames read in. video contains uint8 data representing RGB24 video frames.
video = read(obj, index) reads only the frames specified by index, where the first frame number is 1. index can be a single index, or a two-element array representing an index range of the video stream.
For example:
video = read(obj, 1); % first frame only video = read(obj, [1 10]); % first 10 frames video = read(obj, Inf); % last frame only video = read(obj, [50 Inf]); % frame 50 through end of file
For information about specifying the index in variable frame rate files, see mmreader.
Read and play back the movie file xylophone.mpg.
xyloObj = mmreader('xylophone.mpg');
nFrames = xyloObj.NumberOfFrames;
vidHeight = xyloObj.Height;
vidWidth = xyloObj.Width;
% Preallocate movie structure.
mov(1:nFrames) = ...
struct('cdata', zeros(vidHeight, vidWidth, 3, 'uint8'),...
'colormap', []);
% Read one frame at a time.
for k = 1 : nFrames
mov(k).cdata = read(xyloObj, k);
end
% Size a figure based on the video's width and height.
hf = figure;
set(hf, 'position', [150 150 vidWidth vidHeight])
% Play back the movie once at the video's frame rate.
