I am new to OpenCV, which I want to use for video.
I would like to capture a single frame and save the frame in a directory.
Could someone help me getting started? So far I just have conection to the web camera:

import cv2.cv as cv
import time

cv.NamedWindow("camera", 1)

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)

while True:
    img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
    cv.ShowImage("camera", img)
    if cv.WaitKey(10) == 27:
        break
cv.DestroyAllWindows()

Can I use cv.VideoCapture(0) somehow in the code above?
There is documentation for OpenCv here: http://docs.opencv.org/

I found out. The following code will do what I wanted to:

import cv2.cv as cv
import time

cv.NamedWindow("camera", 1)

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)

while True:
    img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)

    # cv.ShowImage("camera", img)

    cv.SaveImage('test1.jpg', img)
	
    if cv.WaitKey(10) == 27:
        break
cv.DestroyAllWindows()
