I want to play video file, that i obtained from IP-camera (H264-codec) using libVLC and OpenCV, so i took the code from this post, then created project in VS 2010, and put my mp4 file into project folder ("5.mp4"). When i started it - i got this errors:
main error: open of `5.mp4' failed
main error: Your input can't be opened
main error: VLC is unable to open the MRL '5.mp4'. Check the log for details.
Here's my code:
#include <vlc/vlc.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace cv;

if (size > videoBufferSize || !videoBuffer)
{
printf("Reallocate raw video buffer\n");
free(videoBuffer);
videoBuffer = (uint8_t *) malloc(size);
videoBufferSize = size;
}

}

I guess, that is easy to fix, but i could't find any information at the Internet. I also tryied to put it into "C:\5.mp4", but i got the same errors. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Ok, so i fixed this issue, i need to put file:/// before "5.mp4", now my video is playing, but it looks like this:
EDIT02 Ok, with "*.avi" everything looks good, so i guess problem with this file - i recorded it frop IP-camera, using VLC, and saved it into *.mp4
