mismatch between calculated and reported Framerate using VideoReader
Show older comments
I am trying to process video data (wmv format) recorded using a standard consumer grade camera using Matlab (R2014a, on Linux/Ubuntu) using VideoReader
vr = VideoReader('my_movie_file.wmv')
frames = read(vr); % read all frames
size(frames, 4) % gives 4025
vr.NumberOfFrames % gives 4025
vr.Duration % gives 134.7950
vr.FrameRate % gives 15
Now, this does not compute!
I.e,
round(vr.FrameRate*vr.Duration) % gives 2022,
which is half the size of vr.NumberOfFrames -- which means that the reported FrameRate is 1/2 the "calculated" value!
What am I missing?? All help will be appreciated.

I tried this with one of the built-in videos ('xylophone.mp4') and could not reproduce your error. Sorry.

I just tried it with a .wmv file I had on my machine and still had no problem.

Is the file variable framerate? If so then the reported framerate might be the last one in the file (the one in effect at the time you queried)
