Answer 1

the compression style is automatically chosen from the file extension. see the cv2.imwrite help here.

however you might still be interested to know all the possible flags used by all the possible functions in cv2 and cv modules.

look for cv2.txt and cv.txt on your computer. they will be where the opencv modules are installed. at the bottom of those text files are a list of the flags used by the respective modules.

just in case you don't find them, you can download the ones i have from here, though they are from august 2011:

• cv2.txt
• cv.txt
