VideoReader not recognized in my MATLAB version

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a video reader object as:

VidObj = VideoReader('Filename.ext');

But I receive the following error:

Undefined function or method 'VideoReader' for input arguments of type 'char'.

How can I solve this problem?

I am using MATLAB 7.10.0 (R2010a).

Thank you in advance.

It seem your Matlab doesn't recognize command VideoReader.

How about use mmreader instead?

VideoReader was introduced in R2010b

I'd recommend upgrading to the current version (R2011b or R2012a beta). You're at least 3 versions behind.

i tried mmreader(), but this command also not working.

[Walter Roberson]

Shruti V S, when you say that it is not working, what result are you observing? And what do you see for

which VideoReader

?

What does it say when you try mmreader()? If I remember correctly, a predecessor to mmreader was avireader() but that only worked for avi files. Anyway, after 4 years, it's time to upgrade so that you can enjoy all of the latest capabilities.
