why i am getting error in mmreader function?

 when i write the following piece of code i am getting error. 

      clc
      obj=mmreader('wildlife.wmv')
      vedio=read(obj)

??? Error using ==> mmreader.mmreader>getFullPathName at 103 The filename specified was not found in the MATLAB path.

Error in ==> mmreader.mmreader at 63 fullFilePath = getFullPathName( filename );

Error in ==> PQR at 2 obj=mmreader('wildlife.wmv')

It did not find wildlife.wmv . You will need to have a look at which directory you are in, and then go to an operating system window and locate the file and see which directory it is in.

Have a look at fullfile() and at uigetfile()

hello sir,my current directory was=> C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\MATLAB And vedio was in following directory=> C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos

so i copy vedio & paste it in current directory i.e in C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\MATLAB, is it right? and now i am getting warning=> Unable to determine the number of frames in this file. and error => ??? MATLAB:read:readTimedOut

Error in ==> PQR at 3 video=read(obj). what means that?

here is part of code:

    clc
    obj= mmreader('Wildlife.wmv')
    video=read(obj)
    nFrames = Obj.NumberOfFrames
    vidHeight = Obj.Height
    vidWidth = Obj.Width

either add C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos to matlab path using

path

or pass the full file path to mmreader, that is

mmreader('C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\Wildlife.wmv')

Is it a very large .wmv file?

[Urmila]

yes sir,it is of 25 MB. For lager size file is there another solution to read?

You could try with VideoReader with a hasFrame / readFrame loop. Or you could use vision.VideoFileReader https://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/vision.videofilereader-system-object.html
