- `string = obj.GetClassName ()`
- `int = obj.IsA (string name)`
- `vtkGenericMovieWriter = obj.NewInstance ()`
- `vtkGenericMovieWriter = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)`
- `obj.SetInput (vtkImageData input)` - Set/Get the input object from the image pipeline.
- `vtkImageData = obj.GetInput ()` - Set/Get the input object from the image pipeline.
- `obj.SetFileName (string )` - Specify file name of avi file.
- `string = obj.GetFileName ()` - Specify file name of avi file.
- `obj.Start ()` - These methods start writing an Movie file, write a frame to the file and then end the writing process.
