Fills ShortNames and LongNames with available input formats.

Unit [VCL and LCL] MRVFFMpegLists;

Unit [FMX] fmxMRVFFMpegLists;

function GetListOfVideoInputFormats(ShortNames, 
  LongNames: TStrings): Boolean;

ShortNames or LongNames can be nil. Only non-nil lists are filled.

LongNames are for descriptions.

ShortNames contain comma-delimited values (but usually a single value) that can be assigned to TRVCamera.FFmpegProperty.VideoInputFormat.

 

Note: due to known errors, input formats are disabled for FFmpeg 6.x (avdevice-60.dll), but enabled for older and newer versions.

 

Input formats identify various platform-specific video sources (such as video grabbing devices). Filename/URL for these devices often does not refer to an actually existing file or a network resource, but has some specific meaning.

Some values that can be returned:

•dshow: DirectShow capture

•gdigrab: GDI API Windows frame grabber
