**Video Capture and Recording with OpenCV**
This Python script demonstrates how to capture video from the default camera using OpenCV, display it in real-time, and save it to a file. The script utilizes the OpenCV library, which provides a comprehensive suite of tools for computer vision tasks, including video processing.
**Requirements:**
- Python 3.x
- OpenCV library (`opencv-python`)
**Installation:**
1. Ensure you have Python installed on your system. If not, download and install it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. Install the OpenCV library by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
```
pip install opencv-python
```
**Usage:**
1. Clone or download the repository containing the script.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the script.
3. Run the script using the following command:
```
python video_capture_and_record.py
```
4. Once the script is running, it will capture video from the default camera and display it in a window titled "frame".
5. Press the 'q' key to exit the video capture loop.
6. After exiting the loop, the captured video will be saved to a file named "output.avi" in the same directory as the script.
**Notes:**
- Ensure that your system has a camera connected and properly configured.
- The default codec used for video encoding is XVID. You can change it by modifying the `fourcc` variable in the script according to your requirements.
- Adjust the frame size and frame rate as needed by modifying the parameters in the `cv2.VideoWriter` constructor.
- This script captures video until the 'q' key is pressed. Modify the exit condition in the `while` loop as per your application's requirements.
