I've seen I can use multithread, and I'm able to record a video with 30fps (at least that's what ffprobe says, although I'm not sure it is) with the following code: from threading import Thread With this code above, my video of 30fps is shorter than expected, as it cannot take more than ~5fps.

#Here I added time.sleep to wait for the next capture While( int(time.time() - start_time) < capture_duration+1 ): #start recording for a determined duration # Lapse of time between videos (s), from beginning to beginningĭata_string= time.strftime('%m-%d-%H-%M-%S')įor i in range (0,2): #Let's say I only want to do this process twice, to simplifyĬap = cv2.VideoCapture(2) #my camera is 2, but could be 0įourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('M','J','P','G') # The duration in seconds of the video captured (s) Thus, to improve the fps I should use multithreading, although I can't get to implement in my code any of the examples I've seen. I can set the fps at 30 but then the video is about 6 times shorter (python takes video at ~5fps but records it as it was 30fps). I'm using a Logitech c920, but with a good resolution (eg 1920x1080) I'm stack at 5fps. I'd like to get at least 20-30fps with a resolution of 720p or 1080p.
