Revision history [back]

I thought i would ask here as well. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36319366/opencv-video-writer-only-writes-128byte-files-os-x-el-capitan

Whenever i want to write a movie videowriter only writes files of 128 bytes on Mac. I tried almost every codec. Does anyone have a mac and can they use below examples to see if it works for them?

Many thanks, atv
