Can’t grab frame, what happend?

1

Anyone can help me to solve it?..

  1. this is work fine. And Cam looks.

import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 400)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 600)
if cap.isOpened():
    ret, a = cap.read()
    while ret:
        ret, a = cap.read()
        cv2.imshow("camera", a)
        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == 27:
            break
        if cv2.waitKey(1) != -1:
            cv2.imwrite('cap.png',a)
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
  1. But, this is not working. And Cam not looks with the following error. What’s wrong? Thanks.

please be more concise about “cant grab frame”. what exactly happens ?

this is usually the result of some previous error. some exception happened, and the (MSMF) capture terminates.

it’s also “not working” as a problem description"
please append the complete python stacktrace to your question !
