§ VideoWriter() [1/3]
cv::VideoWriter::VideoWriter |
( |
| ) |
|
Python: |
---|
| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | | ) |
| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | filename, fourcc, fps, frameSize[, isColor] | ) |
| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | filename, apiPreference, fourcc, fps, frameSize[, isColor] | ) |
Default constructors.
The constructors/functions initialize video writers.
- On Linux FFMPEG is used to write videos;
- On Windows FFMPEG or MSWF or DSHOW is used;
- On MacOSX AVFoundation is used.

Python: |

| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | | ) |
| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | filename, fourcc, fps, frameSize[, isColor] | ) |
| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | filename, apiPreference, fourcc, fps, frameSize[, isColor] | ) |
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
- Parameters
-
filename | Name of the output video file. |
fourcc | 4-character code of codec used to compress the frames. For example, VideoWriter::fourcc('P','I','M','1') is a MPEG-1 codec, VideoWriter::fourcc('M','J','P','G') is a motion-jpeg codec etc. List of codes can be obtained at Video Codecs by FOURCC page. FFMPEG backend with MP4 container natively uses other values as fourcc code: see ObjectType, so you may receive a warning message from OpenCV about fourcc code conversion. |
fps | Framerate of the created video stream. |
frameSize | Size of the video frames. |
isColor | If it is not zero, the encoder will expect and encode color frames, otherwise it will work with grayscale frames (the flag is currently supported on Windows only). |
Tips:
- With some backends
fourcc=-1
pops up the codec selection dialog from the system.
- To save image sequence use a proper filename (eg.
img_%02d.jpg
) and fourcc=0
OR fps=0
. Use uncompressed image format (eg. img_%02d.BMP
) to save raw frames.
- Most codecs are lossy. If you want lossless video file you need to use a lossless codecs (eg. FFMPEG FFV1, Huffman HFYU, Lagarith LAGS, etc...)
- If FFMPEG is enabled, using
codec=0; fps=0;
you can create an uncompressed (raw) video file.

| <VideoWriter object> | = | cv.VideoWriter( | filename, apiPreference, fourcc, fps, frameSize[, isColor] | ) |
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. The apiPreference
parameter allows to specify API backends to use. Can be used to enforce a specific reader implementation if multiple are available: e.g. cv::CAP_FFMPEG or cv::CAP_GSTREAMER.

| None | = | cv.VideoWriter.write( | image | ) |
Writes the next video frame.
- Parameters
-
image | The written frame. In general, color images are expected in BGR format. |
The function/method writes the specified image to video file. It must have the same size as has been specified when opening the video writer.
