import cv2
vidcap = cv2.VideoCapture('video.mp4')
success,image = vidcap.read()
count = 0
success = True
while success:
  success,image = vidcap.read()
  print 'Read a new frame: ', success
  cv2.imwrite("frame%d.jpg" % count, image)     # save frame as JPEG file
  count += 1

I am getting 'False' for success in this code. The while loop gets executed for only once. Cannot split the video into frames. What is the problem in the code?
