Java VideoCapture is Open, But Mat.read(frame) is Always false

edit

                                            Hey All:

The java code below is supposed to take a snapshot, by reading the from the frame of the connected camera. However, though camera.isOpened is True, the camera.read(frame) is always false. I've followed several walkthrus from stack overflow and posts from here including: waiting for 11s for the VideoCapture camera to open, and inserting camera.read(frame) before the " if(camera.read(frame))" because a post solution was stated the first camera.read(frame) is always false. Because of the code implementation, it loops the if-else block until terminated from the console so the ---Output--- below is the first few loops.

Despite that, mine is always false. I added an else block in within the while(true) body, to check if the camera is null, but its not (see Output below). The camera is opencv compatible as well. But nothing so far. Any suggestions help, its a rare case please help. More details are provided at the bottom. Thank you!

public class VideoCap {
    public static void main (String args[]) throws InterruptedException{
        System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);

        VideoCapture camera = new VideoCapture(0); //Tried -1, opened options. But same output

            //Thread.sleep(11000);

        System.out.println("VidCap isOpened =" + camera.isOpened());
        System.out.println("Frame Width: " + camera.get(Highgui.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH));
        System.out.println("Frame Height: " + camera.get(Highgui.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT));

        if(!camera.isOpened()){
            System.out.println("Error");
        }
        else {
            Mat frame = new Mat();
            //camera.read(frame); incase the first camera.read = false, as suggested from a post
            System.out.println("In progress...");
            while(true){
                //Print properties of the camera to check for null values.
                System.out.println("frame = "+ frame);
                System.out.println("camera.read(frame) = "+camera.read(frame));
                System.out.println("is camera still open? " + camera.isOpened());

                //Always returns false, and prints the else block unlike the youtube video
                   // (see --Sources and Equipment--)
                if (camera.read(frame)){
                    System.out.println("Frame Obtained");
                    System.out.println("Captured Frame Width " + 
                    frame.width() + " Height " + frame.height());
                    Highgui.imwrite("camera.jpg", frame);
                    System.out.println("OK");
                    break;
                }
