You'll want to start with a library like those provided by FFmpeg to decode the video file.

hi gusano
can u please detail me how to proceed...

Member Avatar for geethik

can u also explain how can ffmpeg be related to C?

What's your C experience? The way you ask the question suggests that this might be awfully difficult for you as a first project.

FFmpeg is a project for working with multimedia data; it includes several C libraries you can use in your own applications.

But...

...leads me to agree with this statement:

Go read some of the FFmpeg documentation or tutorials... if you're still lost, that's a good sign that you're probably not ready to tackle this quite yet.

If a general-purpose multimedia library is overkill for your purposes, there might be a simpler approach we could help with. Is this a specific project and/or video format you're working on, or is this just a general question?

Thanks for your support...
This is my first project to code a scene change detection algorithm in C...and I have no idea about storing of the frames....

Member Avatar for Moschops

Store the frames in a 2D array, perhaps. One element per pixel.

From which directory are you trying to run FFmpeg? Did you follow step 5 in the how-to, "Edit the Windows System PATH"?

Member Avatar for geethik

I have created a directory in C:\FFmpeg and trying to run it...I also have changed the path variable.
