actually i was also stuck to this code, instead of this code fourcc = cv2.videowriter_fourcc(*'XVID')

write this code it works fine with me fourcc = cv2.cv.CV_FOURCC(*'XVID')

It depends on OpenCV version you use.

Want you to know where it said which use? http://opencv-python-tutroals.readthe... This is lastest (for 3.0 which is in-development ;) ) and there are descriptions about settings (keyword - FourCC)

When want to see for 2.4.* do sth like this:

copy repository from GitHub (be sure you have git)
git checkout 2.4.9
grep -rni xvid

You will see sth like: ... modules/highgui/src/cap_gstreamer.cpp:474: encs[CV_FOURCC('X','V','I','D')]=(char*)"xvidenc"; ... then see: modules/highgui/doc/reading_and_writing_images_and_video.rst

Have fun :)

To be sure that you have answer for your question.

>> import cv2
>> cv2.__version__
2.4.9.1
>>> fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VideoWriter_fourcc'

That means there is no cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc() because it exsist from 3.0 ver. but you using 2.4.9.1 :)

When you use that version you should change that for fourcc = cv2.cv.CV_FOURCC(*'XVID') like @pjthakkar3192 said before. (if you want to support 2.4.* and 3.* ver of OpenCV just check if func is callable - callable(cv2.cv.CV_FOURCC))

Best regards.
