How to save the next and the current frame from video

I want to subtract the current frame of video from the previous frame of same video , and do the same thing for all video and than write those frame as seprate video , I am confusing at saving the current frame and than next frame . How to save them so when the next frame come it become previous for the next frame

    IplImage* skipNFrames(CvCapture* capture, int n)
{

    for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        if(cvQueryFrame(capture) == NULL)
        {
            return NULL;
        }
    else
    {

        char* New_image;
     // New_image* =  cvQueryFrame(capture) - cvCloneImage(capture);
Mat current_frame;
Mat previous_frame;

if (!capture.isOpened()) {
    return -1;
}

while(1)
{
    capture >> current_frame;
    if (current_frame.empty())
        break;
    // do video processing

    imshow("Window", current_frame);
    waitKey(10);
    frame = skipNFrames(capture, 1)
    frame.copyTo(previous_frame); 

      int frame_width=(int) cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH);     
      int frame_height=(int) cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT);   
      int fps = ( int )cvGetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FPS ); 
   //creating video writer structure
     CvVideoWriter *writer = 0;
     writer=cvCreateVideoWriter("savedVideo.avi",CV_FOURCC('M', 'P', '4', '2'),fps,cvSize(frame_width,frame_height),1);

     if( !writer ) {
   //release memory
       cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
       return 0;
      }

    while(true) {
             //grab and retrieve each frames of the video sequentially 
             IplImage* frame = cvQueryFrame( New_image );
             if( !frame ) break;

       //writing frame by frame to the output file 
      cvWriteFrame(writer,frame);
   }


    cvReleaseVideoWriter(&writer);
    cvReleaseCapture( &capture );

    return 0;
}

    }
     // return cvNew_image      
    //return cvQueryFrame(capture);
} 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromFile("try.avi");
    char buffer[1000];
    int flag=0;
    IplImage* frame = NULL;
    do
    {
        //frame = skipNFrames(capture, 1);
        cvNamedWindow("frame", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
        cvShowImage("frame", frame);
        cvWaitKey(0);
        char *str=new char[50];
        flag++;
        sprintf(str,"%d",flag);
        strcat(str," frame");
        strcat(str,".png");
        Mat image=frame;
        imwrite(str,image);
    } while( frame != NULL );

    cvReleaseCapture(&capture);
    cvDestroyWindow("frame");
    cvReleaseImage(&frame);

    return 0;
}

Here's example using newer OpenCV 2.x interface. Also, in your code you use both IplImage and Mat. In general, use C++ interface of OpenCV unless you have to use C.

VideoCapture cap;
Mat current_frame;
Mat previous_frame;
Mat result;    

cap.open(0);
if (!cap.isOpened()) {
    cerr << "can not open camera or video file" << endl;
    return -1;
}

while(1)
{
    cap >> current_frame;
    if (current_frame.empty())
        break;

    if (! previous_frame.empty())  {
        // subtract frames
        subtract(current_frame, previous_frame, result);
    }


    imshow("Window", result);
    waitKey(10);

    frame.copyTo(previous_frame); 
}
