[HOW-TO]How do I output video as mp4? #669
Description
I am trying to record video as mp4 but ffmpeg seems to throw an error.
I used the example code in the mp4_capture file but this is the error:
libavutil 56. 51.100 / 56. 51.100
libavcodec 58. 91.100 / 58. 91.100
libavformat 58. 45.100 / 58. 45.100
libavdevice 58. 10.100 / 58. 10.100

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
I tried using audio=False in FfmpegOutput as I saw suggested in a different issue but that didn't change anything. Also, ffmpeg is definitely installed and the cli works but I haven't installed any pip package for it.
I'm using an arducam 16mp camera with imx519 sensor.
