My problem is the same as mentioned in

http://answers.opencv.org/question/1965/cv2videocapture-cannot-read-from-file/

and

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11699298/opencv-2-4-videocapture-not-working-on-windows

Im using OpenCV 3.4.0 on Windows 10, able to capture live videos from Webcam using cv2.VideoCapture(0) but can not read my pre-existing .mp4/.avi/.3gp videos.

Yes, I have given the entire path correctly, even changed to '/' , copied the 'opencv_ffmpeg340_64.dll' file into C:\Python27 and yet no results.

I read a suggestion to use the OpenCV binaries from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv , but do not know exactly how to proceed.

The same question was asked in 2012 (http://answers.opencv.org/question/1965/cv2videocapture-cannot-read-from-file/) and no body seems to have benefitted from any solution, hence beginning a new thread.
