WriteGear Bare-Minimum example (Non-Compression) not working about vidgear HOT 2 CLOSED

I followed the demo here: https://github.com/abhiTronix/vidgear/wiki/Non-Compression-Mode:-OpenCV#1-writegear-bare-minimum-examplenon-compression-mode

Run the code

The following error showed:

Compression Mode is disabled, Activating OpenCV In-built Writer!

My Insight

ValueError: All frames in a video should have same size

@iflyingboots This error arises because for a different size (width/height) or a different number of channels(dimensions) of input frames which is either due to incorrect code you are using in your application or the input video stream have the incorrect number of channels.

• Also, The code you said https://github.com/abhiTronix/vidgear/wiki/Non-Compression-Mode:-OpenCV#1-writegear-bare-minimum-examplenon-compression-mode is working absolutely fine at my machine and all CLI test are passing too without any error whatsoever.

• Finally, macOS (OSX) is not officially supported by vidgear but may work. (Resolved in #42, MacOS is now officially supported.)

Troubleshooting

@iflyingboots Kindly share the following files:

1. Kindly post the code of original "cam_demo.py" file that you are using.
2. Secondly, if you are using a video file as an input source then share the video URL here.
