cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)

width = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH))
height = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT))
video_speed = 50 # higher number means faster frame rate
video_name = "Video.mp4"
writer = cv2.VideoWriter(video_name,cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'DIVX'), video_speed, (width,height))

while True:
    ret,frame = cap.read()
    writer.write(frame)
    cv2.imshow('frame', frame) # not necessary you can comment this out
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == 27: # waits for the "esc" key to stop the video
        break
