'vp09' is not supported with codec id 167 and format 'webm

Ubuntu 21.04 and several versions before.

The video creation does work, the error message seems to be wrongly reported. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this fixed?

Last time I looked, this is not OpenCV’s bug reporting service. About that, see About - OpenCV

But if this were, yours would be the worst bug report.

You don’t even mention OpenCV, not to mention what you do with it, in what environment and configuration etc , to get that error.

quite simply you appear to be asking for the wrong fourccs. all those error messages come from ffmpeg itself. so go and complain to ffmpeg and see how well that goes. they’re as used to your kind as we are.

Sorry,
Wrong place to ask for a bug fix.
