VideoCapture()
Default constructor
Note: In REF: videoio_c "C API", when you finished working with video, release CvCapture structure with
cvReleaseCapture(), or use Ptr<CvCapture> that calls cvReleaseCapture() automatically in the
destructor.

public boolean grab()
true
(non-zero) in the case of success.
The method/function grabs the next frame from video file or camera and returns true (non-zero) in
the case of success.
The primary use of the function is in multi-camera environments, especially when the cameras do not
have hardware synchronization. That is, you call VideoCapture::grab() for each camera and after that
call the slower method VideoCapture::retrieve() to decode and get frame from each camera. This way
the overhead on demosaicing or motion jpeg decompression etc. is eliminated and the retrieved frames
from different cameras will be closer in time.
Also, when a connected camera is multi-head (for example, a stereo camera or a Kinect device), the
correct way of retrieving data from it is to call VideoCapture::grab() first and then call
VideoCapture::retrieve() one or more times with different values of the channel parameter.

if no frames has been grabbed
The method/function combines VideoCapture::grab() and VideoCapture::retrieve() in one call. This is the
most convenient method for reading video files or capturing data from decode and returns the just
grabbed frame. If no frames has been grabbed (camera has been disconnected, or there are no more
frames in video file), the method returns false and the function returns empty image (with %cv::Mat, test it with Mat::empty()).
Note: In REF: videoio_c "C API", functions cvRetrieveFrame() and cv.RetrieveFrame() return image stored inside the video
capturing structure. It is not allowed to modify or release the image! You can copy the frame using
cvCloneImage and then do whatever you want with the copy.public boolean retrieve(Mat image, int flag)
