Are any codecs included with opencv?

1

I have been unable to write an uncorrupted video file using:

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'DIVX')
writer = cv2.VideoWriter(out.avi, fourcc, 30, (width, height), True)

I get a file but it is corrupted. If I try to use ‘MJPG’ or ‘MPV4’ with a mp4 extension I get unsupported codec error. Is there any workable fourcc setting and output for opencv 4.4.0+

Change this:
writer = cv2.VideoWriter(out.avi, fourcc, 30, (width, height), True)
to:

writer = cv2.VideoWriter(out.avi, fourcc, 30, (width, height))

Link: FOURCC
