Hi,
I need to write a video analysis tool which extracts statistics from microsocope video. Essentially what I need is to translate the video data into numerical matrices. I have been using Python for the past 1.5 years anytime I could for absolutely everything, because it has every library imaginable... Alas, I can not find a library for decoding video/using codecs. The only solution I have been able to come up with is to create an image sequence and load those in with PIL, however this is not really feasible as the images are too large (nor is it proffessional).
Is there a library or project that I have missed, or is there a way to incorporate something like vfw.lib directly? If there isn't I think this would be a pretty large whole in Python's arsenal. Thanks in advance for any help.
