How to load a video from memory when using opencv python

Loading a video from memory in OpenCV (Python) can be useful in scenarios where you have video data stored in memory or want to read a video stream from a non-traditional source, such as a network socket or a real-time video capture device. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of loading a video from memory using OpenCV, and I'll provide a Python code example to help you get started.
Prerequisites:
Python installed on your system.
OpenCV (cv2) library installed. You can install it using pip:
Step 1: Read the Video File into Memory
First, you need to read the video file into memory as bytes. You can use Python's open function to read the video file as bytes and store it in a variable.
Step 2: Load Video from Memory using OpenCV
Now that you have the video data in memory, you can use OpenCV to load and display the video. Here's a code example to load and display the video from memory:
In this code:
That's it! You now know how to load a video from memory using OpenCV in Python. You can modify this code to suit your specific use case, such as processing frames or saving the video to a different format.
