OpenCV - Show Video Properties with python

Hi Guyz,

In this tutorial, I will discuss the video properties and how to view the video properties of any video file using OpenCV. 

A video file contains different types of properties like width, height, frames, etc. Sometimes it is required to take out these basic video details. In order to make this work, easy OpenCV comes with built-in properties to ease out the work for developers.

video = cv.VideoCapture("video.mp4")video.get(0)

OpenCV has a function named get(propId).
Which takes property Identifier as an argument.

There are total 22 property identifiers that OpenCV supports. 

List of Property Identifiers

One can also modify the properties of video file using set function.

This function takes two arguments.

 1. Index
 2. Property Identifier

In case, You want to modify the width and height of the video file.

video.set(3,320) # Width
video.set(4,480) # Height

Program

#import cv2 moduleimport cv2 as cv#This function shows the properties of a video filedef showProperties():    print('Current position - '+str(video.get(0)))    print('Frames POS - '+str(video.get(1)))    print('Ratio - '+str(video.get(2)))    print('Width - '+str(video.get(3)))    print('Height - '+str(video.get(4)))    print('FPS - '+str(video.get(5)))    print('FOURCC - '+str(video.get(6)))    print('Frame Count - '+str(video.get(7)))    print('Format - '+str(video.get(8)))    print('Mode - '+str(video.get(9)))    print('Brightness - '+str(video.get(10)))    print('Contrast - '+str(video.get(11)))    print('Saturation - '+str(video.get(12)))    print('Hue - '+str(video.get(13)))    print('Gain - '+str(video.get(14)))    print('Exposure - '+str(video.get(15)))    print('Convert RGB - '+str(video.get(16)))    print('White Balance U - '+str(video.get(17)))    print('White Balance V - '+str(video.get(18)))    print('Rectification - '+str(video.get(19)))    print('ISO SPEED - '+str(video.get(20)))    print('Buffer Size - '+str(video.get(21)))            while True:    ret,frame = video.read()    cv.imshow('video',frame)    if cv.waitKey(30) & 0xFF == ord('q'):        #Click q key will trigger this function.        showProperties()        breakvideo.release()cv.destroyAllWindows()

Choosing the Best CPU for Your Gaming Computer

Picking the latest, fastest or most expensive processor on the market won’t always result in the right CPU for your particular system. Some processors are designed to work with certain motherboards, so the CPU you choose will limit the type of motherboard you can get. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is one of the most important components in any computer system. The CPU could be described as the brains of a computer. It contains the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of the software you run. The performance of your games and other applications will be directly related to this tiny little microprocessor. The Major Players: Intel and AMD Two companies dominate the CPU market, Intel and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Both companies make a range of different processor models.  For example, Intel have the Core i7 and Core i5 processor models, while AMD have the Athlon and Phenom series.  The Best CPU for Gaming If you’re a basic computer user and y...
