cv.VideoCapture can't load video properly

[Fancierbucer]

Expected behaviour

When I load a video like, cap = cv.VideoCapture('xx.avi')
cap.isOpened() should return a True value

Actual behaviour

However cap.isOpened() always return a False value

Steps to reproduce

It's said that this problem is something about .dll file, however I cannot find those files in my disk. Can anyone help to check the build information and see what happend?

I pip install opencv-python on VScode(windows10) and the build information is:

Issue submission checklist

• This is not a generic OpenCV usage question (looking for help for coding, other usage questions, homework etc.)
• I have read the README of this repository and understand that this repository provides only an automated build toolchain for OpenCV Python packages (there is no actual OpenCV code here)
• The issue is related to the build scripts in this repository, to the pre-built binaries or is a feature request (such as "please enable this additional dependency")
• I'm using the latest version of opencv-python

Looks like our FFmpeg build does not support the codec and the codec is not installed on your system. Please attach some test video for check. Also you can run the test with the following environment variables to get more details an publish here:

set OPENCV_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
set OPENCV_VIDEOIO_DEBUG=1
