Hi Everyone,

      I am trying to play the video in reverse decrementing the frame number in IMAQ Read Frame function. Its working but the result is very choppy as every frame takes significant time to load, but when I just increment the frame number and play the video forward, its executing without any problem. I have attached the VI and info regarding the video, could you guys please let me know why I am having problem when I am trying to display the video in the reverse order.

Shootballing. It may very well be that the codec used for that video is incremental, so that only certain differences from the preceding image are encoded in the next. That at least is one of the tenets of mpeg. If that is the case, I wouldn't be surprised that reconstructing what looks as an innocent predecessor requires in fact to read much more information from disk, and perhaps more computation, than a successor. If so, that seem a characteristics of the codec used rather than a limitation of LV. For reversibility, perhaps a different codec should be considered.

mjpeg doesnt work like that, its literally a bunch of jpegs in a wrapper. Random access should work as well as forward access. I'd bet forward access has some caching and pre-fetching though, so for random access check your cpu load, memory, and disk usage while trying to play the video. I'd bet you're hitting some limit. Specifically you are asking a lot of windows to smoothly unpack a randomly accessed frame every 34 ms using software decoding.

      LabVIEW crash when deleting virtual folder
      By BrBe
      Hello,
      When I delete virtual folder in me project this results in a LabVIEW crash.  This happens in windows 10 and in windows 7, even if I have a project with only empty virtual folders and I start deleting them.
      Are there other people where this is happening too?

      Convert Greyscale Image to False Color
      By Shaun07
      Hello,
       
      I need one help regarding changing the image image type
      How can I convert grey scale image to false color image?
      Here, I have attached two images. 1. greyscale image 2. is just an example that I want to convert. (False Color). 
      Any help would be appreciate.
       
      Thanks,
      Parth Panchal

      Analog PC video capture
      By caleyjag
      Understandably NI's own line of analog video frame grabbers have been obsolete for some time (since 2010 I believe).
      I have an industrial application where I am bound to using legacy analog VGA cameras. Upgrading the cameras is not an option
      I would like to use LabVIEW for testing purposes. Are there any good non-NI frame grabbers still out there that are easy to get up and running with LabVIEW?
       
      Unfortunately due to the bureaucratic purchasing processes ordering an old NI card of e-bay is not really feasible.

      LabVIEW 2017 What's new
      By bjustice
      Hey guys!
      So, I've installed LabVIEW 2017 and I'm starting to play around with it.  Malleable VIs are cool!  (No more giant OpenG toolkits where there are 10 instances of the same VI for multiple datatypes.)
      Another cool thing that I've observed is that the example "sort 2D Array" function can support a scalar and an array input for index.  Upon further digging, there appears to be an interesting disable structure that intelligently selects the upstream input that yields non-broken code. 
      Does anyone have more information about this structure?  Is this related to the experimental structure that Hooovah talked about in his Xnodes presentation at NI week?  I'm just curious if this is stable... and if I can start using it... and it there is any documentation on it that would tell me how to use it.

      Down sampling required to find barcode
      By Karin Hellqvist
      In the attached image I have four Code 128 and two Code 39. I have problem detecting them without down sampling the image first. Since I want to grade the bar codes I don't want to down sample since the code quality is reduced then. I noticed this from that sometimes some of the bar codes are found without down sampling an then the grade is higher for those. Down sampling a factor 2 sometimes work, down sampling a factor 4 always works.
       
      I have tried croping the image around the bar code but this doesn't help.
       
      I'm using IMAQ Read Barcode 2, and have tried to change the parameter Min Bar Width with no result. Is there any other parameter I can change for the algorithm to find the barcodes, without having to down sample my image.
       
      Best regards
