title: Is there a way to choose which directory cv2 VideoWriter writes to?
body: <p>I am using <code>VideoWriter</code> in <code>cv2</code> using <code>python</code>, to write some images into a video. It works, however I can only get the video to save only in the directory that contains my <code>.py</code> file. And if I concatenate <code>/../folder_name</code> with my video name (e.g. <code>video_name.avi</code>), the file is not written at all. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to specify which directory I can write my video file into? Or am I only able to write it into where I can currently writing it?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
