and the code, leading to your error ?

(it'S probably something very simple, like a wrong file path)

Sample code using python, the files are present on the same folder as this py code

import cv2

def FrameCapture(path):
    vidObj = cv2.VideoCapture(path)

    success, image = vidObj.read()

    cv2.imwrite("img_1.jpg", image)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    FrameCapture("Panasonic_HDC_TM_700_P_50i.avi")

it's like i thought, the image you try to write is invalid

please check the success value (don't throw it away, like all python noobs do!).

if it is false, you have to break out of the loop (movie's over). also vidObj.isOpened()
