VideoWriter filename doesn't accept certain charactars

Hello everybody!

I was experimenting with cv::VideoWriter a bit today and I noticed something weird. I was trying to build the filename out of a name, the date and the current time. The string was correct, but my program kept crashing. I noticed that the crash was due to the ":" in the date represenation. When ever there is a ":" in the filename string passed to cv::VideoWriter the program crashes.

Can somebody tell me why that is? Or if this may be a bug. Thanks!
