VideoCapture doesn't work in Conda virtual environment with OpenCv 2.4.11












0














I'm trying to read a video frame by frame using PyCharm. I'm using as Python interpreter a virtual environment created with Conda, because it's the only way I have to use OpenCV 2.4.11.



How can I solve this problem?

I checked for a solution, such as installing ffmpeg in the virtual environment, but it didn't work.

I found this SO solution, but I can't apply it in my virtual environment.



I use the command



vid = cv2.VideoCapture('video1.avi') 


and then I check if it has worked typing



vid.isOpened() 


and I get "False" every time. The video name is correct, and if I change the video format, it still doesn't work.



Do you have any idea?
