Unknown error while reading AVI files in OpenCV

Question

Hi,

whenever i am trying to read out the avi file and converting into grayscal using Opencv 2.1 and VS 2008 in windows xp

i don't why i am getting following run time error at the same time i am unable to get the help on it

ERROR 1

Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers. [mpeg4 @ 0x37da10]Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected

if i try some other avi file then i am getting following runtime error

ERROR 2

I really don't know whats going on here is my code from Learning OpenCV ,

// VideoCon.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

Answer 1

my GUESS is that you do not have the right codecs installed on your machine. try installing some proper codecs.
