Failed to initialize video sink writer : The data specified for the media type is invalid, inconsistent, or not supported by this object. #275

I switched to H265 encoder in my code but now suddenly I get an error.

Does the computer have H265 encoding capability? This usually either comes from hardware encoders on a modern-ish graphics card, or from installing the HEVC Video Extensions on Microsoft Store.

Same error (in French = text in first post):

Is there a way I could garant this within the program, like a nuget package? Or is it because you use windows media foundation?

sskodje commented 11 months ago

Unfortunately not to my knowledge, the only guarantee is that H264 is available in Windows. Yes, it's because this library relies on Media Foundation to supply the codecs.

What folder does windows media foundation search for codecs?

Installed an extenstion still a problem, could it be due to a unactivated windows?
