out = cv2.VideoWriter('/Users\Dell\Documents\GitHub\capstoneproject\ProjectS\sample\example_03.mp4',fourcc, 20.0, (640,480))

while(cap.isOpened()):
    ret, frame = cap.read()


        # write the flipped frame
    out.write(frame)

    cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):

I think you forgot to provide the type of codec. The proper code should be.

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'type of codec')

type of codec can be mp4, XVID etc.
