"Could not demultiplex stream" in loading Video recorded by Opencv's VideoWriter

My program is

int main(){
    cout << "Start the process" << endl;
    cv::VideoCapture vcap("rtsp://root:[email protected]/axis-media/media.amp?camera=1");
    cout << "Camera connection done!" << endl;
    cv::Mat image, small;
    //Output video
    cv::Size S = cv::Size((int) vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH), (int) vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT));
    int ex = static_cast<int>(vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC));
    int fps = vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS);
    cout << "fps " << fps << " ex " << ex << endl;
    cv::VideoWriter outputVideo;
    outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", ex/*CV_FOURCC('X', '2', '6', '4')*/, vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);
    if(!outputVideo.isOpened()){
        cout << "Could not open the output video for write" << endl;
        return -1;
    }

    for(;;){
        if(!vcap.read(image)){
            std::cout << "No frame" << std::endl;
            cv::waitKey(0);
        }

        cv::resize(image, small, image.size()/2, 0, 0 , cv::INTER_LINEAR);
        cv::imshow("Display", small);
        cv::waitKey(1);
        outputVideo.write(small);
        if(getkey() == '\n')
            break;
    }
    cout << "Camera release" << endl;
    outputVideo.release();
    vcap.release();
    image.release();
    small.release();
    return 0;
}

int ex = static_cast<int>(vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FOURCC)); ex is 0 here.

I can record the TEST.avi, but can't be read by cv::VideoCapture vcap("TEST.avi"); or VLC player or Videos in Ubuntu. The error is "Could not demultiplex stream".

If I changed to 

outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", CV_FOURCC('X', '2', '6', '4'), vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);
outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", CV_FOURCC('P','I','M','1'), vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);
outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", CV_FOURCC('M', 'P', '4', '2'), vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);
etc.

all have same problem.

If I set 

outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", CV_FOURCC('i', 'Y', 'U', 'V'), vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);

I have error as Opencv: FFMPEG iYUV is not supported with codec id 14

For

outputVideo.open("TEST.avi", CV_FOURCC('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'), vcap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS), S, true);


OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (img.cols == width && img.rows == height && chann

What could be wrong? Is that my FFMPEG has problem?

If you are reading a video from a file and resizing it before displaying the frame using cv2.imshow. Make sure to keep the "out" dimension equivalent to the dimension of the resized frame.

Get the size. In my case I did this.

`size = images[0].shape[:2]`

This gave the error when tried to play record.

`out = cv2.VideoWriter(record_path,fourcc, 15, size)`

I tried this one and it is worked.

`out = cv2.VideoWriter(record_path,fourcc, 15, (size[1],size[0]))`
