I am trying to somehow copy the "video1.mkv" at a folder called "my folder".
There are better ways to copy but my tend is to read "video1.mkv" and create a new video by using the video that I've read before.
The problem is that I can't save it!
My codes are in Google-Colaboratory and I use Google-Drive as my directory for saving my files, codes or read anything from it. Everything is available in the "my folder", include the "name.ipnb" that I am coding in it.
So this is the code snippet:
import cv2 as cv
import os
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
os.chdir('/content/drive/My Drive/my folder')
caped = cv.VideoCapture('video1.mkv')
Start of problems:
x = cv.VideoWriter('./video2', cv.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID'), 3, (600, 500))
while(caped.isOpened()):
ret, frame = caped.read()
if ret == True:
x.write(frame)
else:
break
caped.release()
x.release()
There is not any error raised but "video2" won't save.
As you mentioned there are better ways to copy
!cp -r "/content/video" "/content/drive/MyDrive"
But for this specific problem the file name is missing the extension
caped = cv.VideoCapture('video1.mkv')
x = cv.VideoWriter('video2.avi', cv.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID'), 3, (600, 500))
while caped.isOpened():
ret, frame = caped.read()
if ret:
x.write(frame)
else:
break
caped.release()
x.release()
