How can I write an uncompressed avi with opencv 3 and python? It MUST be uncompressed.

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'DIB ')

does not produce an avi at all, but fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'HFYU') does. However, I do not want any compression, even lossless compression. Thanks

This should be accurate fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'DIB '). But I don't see nothing.

Btw, this will work for OpenCV 3.1 and python 3.5

Thanks, I will try this, but if this is the case, then something is broken in later versions

try fourcc = cv.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'RGBA')

DIB is discontinued. And is not available on FOURCC

Wow, so fourcc now has no way to specify an uncompressed avi?

@sjwastronomer. Followed example from @LBerger. It will worked on OpenCV 4.

Good catch, Berger.

I tried that. It wrote an avi that I could not play or read with the software I need to use. Does this specify an alpha channel?
