Solving the encoding problem

Dealing with video data in Java is a troublesome job (given that we don't have many libraries like Python), especially if the videos come in old .avi or such formats. I have seen some blogs and examples on GitHub using JCodec Java library Version 0.1.5 (or 0.2.3) to read and parse UCF101 video clips in an MP4 format.

Even DL4J depends on datavec-data-codec, which depends on old JCodec API and is incompatible with the new version. Unfortunately, even this newer version of JCodec cannot read UCF101 videos. Therefore, I decided to use the FFmpeg to process the video in MP4 format. This comes under the JavaCV library, which I've discussed already in an earlier chapter. Anyway, to use this library, just include the ...
