I saved video with 640x480 resolution and played with windows media player successfully. But when I save video with 1280x720 using opencv-python, it plays in very fast. my code sample

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID')
outVid=cv2.VideoWriter('outputMovie.mp4', fourcc, 30.0, (640, 480))

while(vid.isOpened()):
    check, frame=vid.read()
    if check:
      #print(check)
      #print(frame.shape)
      outVid.write(frame)      
      #cv2.namedWindow("Capture Video", cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
      cv2.imshow("Capture Video", frame)
      if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
         break
    else:
         break

outVid.release()  
vid.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

no, that's an illusion, your video will play at 30 fps, come rain or come shine.

saving video frames is an expensive (cpu) operation, so writing larger frames will take more time (between them) on slow machines, resulting in some "time-lapse" effect.

@brahim_5403. Did you copy 1280, 720 into 6480, 480?

outVid=cv2.VideoWriter('outputMovie.mp4', fourcc, 30.0, (1280, 720))
