Hello,
I would like to read an avi file in matlab. I have read many forum questions and answers regarding this issue but I still cannot find the solution to it.
I use this simple code: v = VideoReader(filename); %filename is an .avi file
However, I get this error message:
Error using VideoReader/initReader (line 734)
cvid
Error in audiovideo.internal.IVideoReader (line 136)
initReader(obj, fileName, currentTime);
Error in VideoReader (line 104)
obj@audiovideo.internal.IVideoReader(varargin{:});
Error in AVI_Labview_data (line 11)
v = VideoReader(filename);
I don't know what my issue is here, as I do have the Cinepak codec installed.
Could you help me with that?
Thank you very much!

Hi Marie-Louise Schlichting,
I understand that you are trying to read a file with '.avi' extension. I tried producing it at my end on my Windows operating system using MATLAB version 'R2021b' and successfully managed to read the file with the '.avi' extension. I kindly request you to attempt reading the file again and if the problem persists, please share the file that you are attempting to read.
I hope this helps!
