Fixed by changing write_2_idx = line_pipe.add_operator(v2v.Writer()) to write_2_idx = line_pipe.add_operator(v2v.Writer(extension='mp4'))

[Mark-Lowell]

My apologies, I didn't see this for the longest time. I need to make a permanent fix for this, but as a temporary fix, go to that cell and change:

write_2_idx = line_pipe.add_operator(v2v.Writer())

To:

write_2_idx = line_pipe.add_operator(v2v.Writer(extension='mp4'))
