VideoCapture can not open some files

My simple code here:

VideoCapture camera = new VideoCapture("visiontraffic.avi");
    if (!camera.isOpened()) {
        System.out.println("Can not open Camera, try it later.");
    }

can only open that file (visiontraffic.avi) but no other files with avi format or other format. Opening camera works fine with:

VideoCapture camera = new VideoCapture(0);

my whole code and my video example can be downloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dshmg0cnou...

please help me I'm confused. Other cases I found was absolutely cannot open any video at all, neither opening camera. And I've seen how to resolve it here:

Actually I didn't really understand how to installing ffmpeg, recompile opencv with ffmpeg config, etc but I think my problem isn't there. And I've tried to copy ffmpeg.dll from opencv everywhere.

thanks in advance.

What you are missing in your code is the loading of the ffmpeg dll. Just put the opencv_ffmpeg300_64.dll from the OpenCV installation into the java library folder, i. e. where the opencv_java300.dll resides and add this to your code:

System.loadLibrary("opencv_ffmpeg300_64");

Just tried it, works fine.

ps: Where did you get these videos, are they free to use? I just started with OpenCV and java yesterday and would need some samples.
