AVI I/O

[ziaran]

Hello,

I want to use Python for Image proccessing.
I need the following capabilities:

1. To be able to read and WRITE an AVI file frame by frame.
2. To be able to access each fram as a simple matrix.

I tried to search for that in google but could not find something 
intuitive and simple.

The matrices part is important since iamge processing is done through 
matrices manipulation.

MATLAB is an example of a tool with scripting capabilities in which you 
can do that in a simple way.

Is Python adequate for that?

Thanks,
Nir
