what is the codec for mp4 videos in python OpenCV

Question

fourcc = cv2.cv.CV_FOURCC(*\'XVID\')

The above line is used for avi video. In the same fashion, which codec do we use for mp4 videos in Ubuntu?

Answer 1

This is an old question. But, if anyone is facing an issue lately using the codec who can't get a saved video. They can use 0X00000021 as the codec value for OpenCV 3 and later.
