Hello. I am trying to make a video from images shot by my webcam in python. I use a module I found on the net (here http://osdir.com/ml/python.matplotlib.general/2005-10/msg00145.html ) but, even if I think I am doing everything correctly, what I only get is a grey video with some multi-color squares on the top-left bit... I don't think it's a problem with ffmpeg because I tried with two different versions. Not even with the codec: i tried wmv, mpg, avi and everything, but still the same result. And also, my webcam does the capture right because if I check the image it's OK. Last thing left, IMO, is the module, but I can't seem to find whats the problem... Is it because the module was (maybe) made on Linux and I'm working on windows? If you would help me I'd be so glad! This program is for my friend and he needs it ready preety quick.
Why not use mencoder directly? Last time I did this I used Python to organize the shots and mencoder to create the video...
