Is there any automatic way to match FPS before recording video?
Is there any way to automatically pick up the FPS before recording a video so that there is no frame loss? For example, if I recorded 10 seconds of video, then the file should be 10 seconds long.
And so it turns out that my IP camera (phone) can record 30 frames per second, and in the code if you set 30 frames per second or select FPS via cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS) , then part of the recording is lost depending on the frame size (1920*1080, 1280*720, etc.). It turns out that the larger the frame size, the less FPS is needed to make the video about the same duration and without delays.
Is it possible to somehow do it differently so that it automatically selects the necessary FPS for optimal video recording?
If you record with rtsp protocoland use cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS) , then print(fps) outputs 180.000 frames to the console, and later an error appears:
180000.0
[mpeg4 @ 00000222e21f0a40] timebase 1/180000 not supported by MPEG 4 standard, the maximum admitted value for the timebase denominator is 65535

fps = 20#cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)
print(fps)

ret, frame = cap.read()
if ret==True:
frame = cv2.flip(frame,1)
out.write(frame)
cv2.imshow('video',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
else:
break
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

FPS is the reciprocal of time. Measure how long it takes you to process one frame, and get the maximum available FPS for real-time processing.
