I'm looking for a Python video processing library, similar to PIL, where I can iterate through all the frames of a source video, access the pixel data for each frame, draw onto each frame and save the result as a new video file.

I've found a couple of similar questions, but they are pretty old now:

They recommend PyMedia and PyFFMPEG. PyMedia seems rather out of date (but may still work?) and PyFFMPEG, while more recent, has almost no documentation.

I've had no luck installing either these on Ubuntu 10.10, before I press on, is there:

a) A better library I should look at?

b) Good instructions on how to get either of these up and running?
