File to Video

This tool allows to generate an AVI video from a RAW, DAT or HDF5 event file.

The source code of this tool can be found in <install-prefix>/share/metavision/sdk/core/cpp_samples/metavision_file_to_video when installing Metavision SDK from installer or packages. For other deployment methods, check the page Path of Samples.

Expected Output

The tool reads data from an event file, generates an AVI video of 30 fps and saves it to the chosen path.

How to start

You can directly execute pre-compiled binary installed with Metavision SDK or compile the source code as described in this tutorial.

To start the tool based on recorded data, provide the path to an event file (here, we use the HDF5 event file spinner.hdf5 from our Sample Recordings) and the path to the output video:

Linux

metavision_file_to_video -i spinner.hdf5 -o spinner.avi

Windows

metavision_file_to_video.exe -i spinner.hdf5 -o spinner.avi

To check for additional options:

Linux

metavision_file_to_video -h

Windows

metavision_file_to_video.exe -h
