Creating MPEG4 video file with Python from raw frames

I have a raw video frame source which I can access in Python. I'd like to create a MPEG4 video out of this, with MP3 background music.

What kind of tools and libraries are available in Python for such a task? Preferably I'd like to have an API for which I can feed output filename and then individual fra开发者_如何学Pythonmes as 24 bit raw images.

With OpenCV and the corresponding Python binding, you could use something like the function cv.WriteFrame. You could also use pyffmpeg, but that is geared more towards accessing individual frames from a video file.

One of these should be able to do what you requesting:

• http://code.google.com/p/pyffmpeg/

• http://code.google.com/p/wffmpeg/

• http://pymedia.org/

Because this question still shows up pretty high in relevant Google searches, here's the library I'm using now:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ffmpy/0.0.4

It is lightweight and still works.

Per Neal, OpenCV has the best libraries for editing, but does not (AFAIK) support MPEG.
