Give a try to c++ interface and put a check on it

 VideoCapture cap(0); // open the video camera no. 0

    if (!cap.isOpened())  // if not success, exit program
    {
        cout << "Cannot open the video cam" << endl;
        return -1;
    }

and for C interface , the complete method if playing video is

int main()
{
    CvCapture* capture = cvCreateFileCapture("sample.avi");

    IplImage* frame = NULL;

    if(!capture)
    {
        printf("Video Not Opened\n");
        return -1;
    }

    int width = (int)cvGetCaptureProperty(capture,CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH);
    int height = (int)cvGetCaptureProperty(capture,CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT);
    double fps = cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FPS);
    int frame_count = (int)cvGetCaptureProperty(capture,  CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT);

    printf("Video Size = %d x %d\n",width,height);
    printf("FPS = %f\nTotal Frames = %d\n",fps,frame_count);

    while(1)
    {
        frame = cvQueryFrame(capture);

        if(!frame)
        {
            printf("Capture Finished\n");
            break;
        }

        cvShowImage("video",frame);
        cvWaitKey(10);
    }

    cvReleaseCapture(&capture);
    return 0;
