Creating a CvCapture from a sequence of images

Question

The function cvCaptureFromAVI allocates and initializes a CvCapture structure in order to read a video stream from the specified file. The function cvCaptureFromCAM works in a similar way, but the source of the video is a webcam. Once the CvCapture structure has been allocated and initialized properly, the reading of each frame is performed using the function cvQueryFrame.

Since I have a sequence of frames as images saved on disk, I would allocate a CvCapture structure for reading an image stream from the specified file list. How should I initialize the CvCapture structure?

Since you mentioned OpenCV's C API, the magic is done by cvCreateVideoWriter().

Here's a demo using Python.
