I speculated the problem started after I added the following two source to my /etc/apt/sources.list file on Debian Wheezy. I did this procure a newer version of FFMPEG.

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org">ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org">ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy-backports main

It was then all my code written using the OpenVC started to break. I had a hunch it was my recent upgrade but not sure until I read the following.

“Make sure proper versions of ffmpeg or gstreamer is installed. Sometimes, it is a headache to work with Video Capture mostly due to wrong installation of ffmpeg/gstreamer.” ~ http://opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.org/en/latest/py_tutorials/py_gui/py_video_display/py_video_display.html

I recently installed "ffmpeg version 1.2.5" from "deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy-backports main" on my Debian Wheezy.

I wrote some code with OpenCV and now I get the following error when I try to open a video.
