  while(input_video.isOpened()):
    # Capture frame by frame
    ret, frame = input_video.read()
    if ret == True:
      frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
      cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    else:
      break

frameWidth = 640
frameHeight = 480
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("Resources/test_ video.mp4")
while True:
    success, img = cap.read()
    img = cv2.resize(img, (frameWidth, frameHeight))
    cv2.imshow("Result", img)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) and 0xFF == ord('q'):
         break
