class VideoFileWriter2(config={}, **kwds)[source]

Bases: Component

Write video files, including “raw” format.

This component uses FFmpeg to write video to a variety of formats. Make sure you have installed FFmpeg before attempting to use VideoFileWriter2.

There are two configuration settings that control the saved file format. codec chooses a codec “family” such as 'FFV1' and pix_fmt chooses the data layout before compression. The “container” format, such as AVI or MOV, is inferred from the file name extension. Not all codecs will work with all pixel formats, and FFmpeg supports many more pixel formats (and codecs) that are available in VideoFileWriter2. Let me know if you have any particular requirements that are not already included.

The raw and ffv1 codecs are lossless, but look out for unwanted RGB<->YUV conversion or UV resampling. H264 always converts to YUV, H264rgb always converts to RGB.

The input_Y_RGB input accepts images with 1 or 3 components as Y or RGB. The input_UV input accepts UV images with 2 components. The input config specifies the expected inputs.

Config
`path`	str	Path name of file to be written.
`input`	str	The input video format. Can be `'RGB'`, `'YUV'`, or `'Y'`.
`codec`	str	Codec name. Possible values: `'raw'`, `'FFV1'`, `'H264'`, `'H264rgb'`.
`pix_fmt`	str	Pixel format. Possible values: `'rgb24'`, `'rgb48le'`, `'uyvy422'`, `'yuv422p'`, `'yuv422p10le'`, `'gray'`, `'gray16le'`.
`fps`	int	Video frame rate. Only affects how file is replayed.
