video write ubuntu [closed]

Hi

I am trying to save results of YOLO to .avi file. Having already seen the following post https://github.com/pjreddie/darknet/i... (I even asked the question there) I could NOT find any solution. I here is the code in which I am trying to save the .avi.

{
    CvSize size;
    size.width = disp->width;
    size.height = disp->height;

    static CvVideoWriter* output_video = NULL;    // cv::VideoWriter output_video;
    if (output_video == NULL)
    {
        printf("\n SRC output_video = %p \n", output_video);
        const char* output_name = "test_dnn_out.avi";
        output_video = cvCreateVideoWriter(output_name, CV_FOURCC('D', 'I', 'V', 'X'), 25, size, 1);
        printf("\n cvCreateVideoWriter, DST output_video = %p  \n", output_video);
    }
        cvWriteFrame(output_video, disp);
}

Trying plenty of codecs ( changing CV_FOURCC('D', 'I', 'V', 'X') ) I get errors below:
