VideoCapture crashes just after opening (Bug #2528)

By the way, it works perfectly when I use my webcam with the code
"
cv::VideoCapture Capture;
Capture.open(0);
cv::Mat Cam;
Capture >> Cam;
cv::imshow("Cam", Cam);
"

This happens also to me with versions of opencv up to 2.4.3 x64 while opening a video made with the GoPro camera, but somewhat randomly. It crashes somewhere in read_InputMediaStream_FFMPEG(). But the plain ffplay.exe from ffmpeg 1.0 can play it always perfectly!

By the way my code is:
videoCapture = new cv::VideoCapture("video.mp4");

I hit a related (I think) issue. Using the cv2 python bindings from the 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 releases on win7, I get a crash a couple frames into RAW video. It seems to happen only with RAW video, when I tested with the same videos compressed into other avi formats it seems to work fine. I used to use the same sort of videos on an older release with the old cv python binds and that worked with RAW video.
I did figured out a work around, basically if I set the position each time after the first read I don't get a crash. Since I'm in python I can't debug it further easily, but maybe something isn't getting reset/released properly between RAW frames?
Anyways, here's the pseudocode that seems to work around the issue:

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(filename)
if not cap.isOpened():
       print "ERROR WITH VIDEO" 
    raise 

frame=cap.read()[1]
count = 0
while True: 
    #do some stuff with the frame here
    count +=1
    cap.set(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, float(count) );
    frame = cap.read()[1]

Maybe this bug is related?: http://code.opencv.org/issues/1915

I get the exact same issue as the OP. I am trying to playback a RAW RGBA video stream with no audio from an avi. The frame size is 1600x1200.
I think Joseph is right when saying that the fact its a RAW stream has significance, otherwise people will make a lot more noise.
I think Yury's issue is different.

Yury: I've run into the same issue as you. Wanted you to know you are not the only one.

I can confirm that removing the audio stream from the video file with ffmpeg prevents OpenCV from crashing.
