List of QVideoFrames from video file - c++

I'm trying to get list of QVideoFrame in Qt from a video file (doesn't really matter what format). I've looked at http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/qvideoframe.html to find some information about QVideoFrame, but I can't find any information on how to make QVideoFrames from video file.

This example is old, but it should be decent starting point.

Retrieve some data from a currently playing video file on windows?

I'd like to get the current time of a playing video and then read from a relevant subtitle file and stream the subtitles at the right time to a terminal-like window. Getting the subtitles directly from the video file would probably be more efficient, but I'd like to tackle one problem at a time.
What's the best way to do this?
I've looked at VLC's modules and such, but it seems I'd have to completely recompile it with my module for each targeted platform. Which I'd rather just have a standalone project in C++.
I've tried reversing through cheat engine so I could ReadProcessMemory(). but can't seem to find anything related to current time. Tried VLC and Windows Media Player.

concatenate files in libffmpeg c++

i'm a bit at loss here. My goal is to merge two video files (which might be of different file formats) and i'm already using libffmpeg for other simple tasks. I thought libffmpeg exposed some kind of function to merge files, but i can't find it.
I found these pages on the documentation that might be relevant: http://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/structConcatStream.html and http://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/group__lavf__encoding.html
I'm not sure if this is really relevant though? Can anybody point me in the right direction? Do i need to use FFmpeg muxing and manually joins streams? Is there any example that can explain to me what i should do? thanks!
For those looking for an example, i ended up using
How to use libavformat to concat 2 video files with same codec (re-muxing)?
there's a nice snippet and it works very well
Use ffmpeg to open file 1, start reading frames, converting to target format, and writing to the output file. When there are no more frames, close file 1 (leave output open). Open file 2, start reading frames, converting to target format, and writing to the output file. When there are no more frames, close file 2 and close output.
Merged and formats reconciled.

Convert Movie to OpenNI *.oni video

The Kinect OpenNI library uses a custom video file format to store videos that contain rgb+d information. These videos have the extension *.oni. I am unable to find any information or documentation whatsoever on the ONI video format.
I'm looking for a way to convert a conventional rgb video to a *.oni video. The depth channel can be left blank (ie zeroed out). For example purposes, I have a MPEG-4 encoded .mov file with audio and video channels.
There are no restrictions on how this conversion must be made, I just need to convert it somehow! Ie, imagemagick, ffmpeg, mencoder are all ok, as is custom conversion code in C/C++ etc.
So far, all I can find is one C++ conversion utility in the OpenNI sources. From the looks of it, I this converts from one *.oni file to another though. I've also managed to find a C++ script by a phd student that converts images from a academic database into a *.oni file. Unfortunately the code is in spanish, not one of my native languages.
Any help or pointers much appreciated!
EDIT: As my usecase is a little odd, some explanation may be in order. The OpenNI Drivers (in my case I'm using the excellent Kinect for Matlab library) allow you to specify a *.oni file when creating the Kinect context. This allows you to emulate having a real Kinect attached that is receiving video data - useful when you're testing / developing code (you don't need to have the Kinect attached to do this). In my particular case, we will be using a Kinect in the production environment (process control in a factory environment), but during development all I have is a video file :) Hence wanting to convert to a *.oni file. We aren't using the Depth channel at the moment, hence not caring about it.
I don't have a complete answer for you, but take a look at the NiRecordRaw and NiRecordSynthetic examples in OpenNI/Samples. They demonstrate how to create an ONI with arbitrary or modified data. See how MockDepthGenerator is used in NiRecordSynthetic -- in your case you will need MockImageGenerator.
For more details you may want to ask in the openni-dev google group.
Did you look into this command and its associated documentation
NiConvertXToONI --
NiConvertXToONI opens any recording, takes every node within it, and records it to a new ONI recording. It receives both the input file and the output file from the command line.

converting image sequence to video

I want to make a screen capture utility, so far i am able to capture the screen in regular interval to get a numbered sequence of images and now i want to encode them to a video format preferably flv(because of good compression and web support)
....I tried the ffmpeg.exe for that reason but for some strange reason it did'nt work
on my vista ultimate...only the first picture is encoded while the rest -I dont know what happened to them.
Also I would prefer doing the encoding stuf programatically (using c/c++ library api if any for that purpose) rather than using tools as ffmpeg.exe and i am interested in encoding picture sequence to video not capturing contineouse video directly.
I searched through internet....there are lots of libraries and tutorial for converting between video formats but I did'nt find something usefull for my problem.
I am not verry proficient with video formats and sdk library, I just need a quick way to encode some pictures to video with some basic control (as time interval between two consecutive frames).
So can you help me with some pointers as to which library i should use and how(code fragment and little descriptive answer would greatly help) and please dont recomend any .NET solution I need to learn something out of this and dont want to apply some bruteforce approach to solve the problem.
Sorry for my english....and thanks in advance.
It appears that an .avi file can more or less directly be made of .jpg's:
An AVI file may carry audio/visual data inside the chunks in virtually any compression scheme, including Full Frame (Uncompressed), ..., Motion JPEG.
Also, something very similar has been discussed here before.

combining separate audio and video files into one file C++

I am working on a C++ project with openCV. It is a simple web cam application with basic features like capturing pictures and videos. I have already been able to save video (w/o audio). Since openCV doesnot support audio processing, I was wondering if there is any way I can record audio separately in a different file and later combine those together to get one video file.
While searching on the internet, I did hear something about using ffmpeg with openCV. But I just cant figure out how to do it exactly.....
Can you guys help me? I would be very grateful... Thankyou!
P.S. I have used openCV and QT (for GUI)
As you said, opencv doesn't by itself deal with audio. However once you get a separate audio and video file, you can combine them using a technique called muxing. There are many many ways to do this. I use VirtualDub for most of my muxing needs, although it is windows only (not sure if that's a problem). I know ffmpeg is also capable of muxing (via the command line interface), I can't recall what the command is. There's also mplayer and a multitude of other programs out there to do this.
as far as i know openCV is good for video/image processing. To support audio processing, you can use other libraries e.g. PortAudio or C-sound.
