you can solve the error like this:

you need to change the line "name_image" for the name the image or video:

import os

script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
imagen_path = os.path.join(script_dir, 'name_image')
imagen = cv2.imread(imagen_path)

For some reason the file won't find you if we don't give you the full address

Well, for me it looks like the VideoCapture is not working. You should check after reading the image, if it could have read something:

ret, cur = cam.read()
if not ret:
    print "VideoCapture read no frame."
    break

If that's the case, there has been some answers here in SO that might help you, for example: OpenCV 2.4 VideoCapture not working on Windows Basically, they say that you might have problems with the ffmpeg. Maybe you have to add it to Windows path, and/or rename it to have the OpenCV version on it.
