Export OpenGl Animation to AVI

[tlsn2]

Hello,

We are working on on our final project in computer graphics.
We are programming in C++ using GLUT and FreeImage library, we have this cool real time player that we are using to view our generated mesh. We were asked to add a feature that will record the camera movement and will export that to an AVI file that can be watched in a regular player.
We don't have a clue how it needs to be done - Can someone please provide us with a lead?

Thanks A lot.

Weel you need to capture each individual frame with glReadPixels and then encode them to avi using some external library (such as FFmpeg) or API. You may take a look at sources of BuGLe (http://bugle.sourceforge.net/) program, which does exactly that.

Thanks a lot JohnnyDog,

Hi JohnyDog and other good people.
I am still trying to figure out this AVI export problem, I saw I need to I build the video frame by frame.
I understood that I need to record each frame of my OpenGL program using the glReadPixels function but I still haven't found the right function in the FFmpeg that can read the openGL frame as argument and build a corresponding AVI.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

It turned out that there is a much easier way to record the OpenGL animtion or DirectX to an AVI or MPEG File.

There is a small open source class that does exactly that.
Take a look at this link at "The Code Project":

Thanks and See you!
