Is it possible for opencv to save 16 bits single channel video?

edit

you can write grayscale images by setting the last argument to VideoWriter to false, but it won't support 16bit images.

until you find a better idea, try to save a sequence of single 16bit images using imread() / imwrite()

EDIT:

if you have numbered 16bit images, like a0001.png, a0002.png, a0003.png you can use:

cap = VideoCapture("a0001.png") # start with 1st img number

and still retrieve 16bit images !
