Hi,
just enter in python

import cv2
print(cv2.getBuildInformation())

if some api are not available (with answer NO) you can try to build python binding yourself

on windows, ffmpeg is used to read / write video files

have a look here for the supported formats
however, the prebuilt version does not come with gpl’d codecs,
so e.g. you can read but you cant write h265
