I speculated the problem started after I added the following two source to my /etc/apt/sources.list file on Debian Wheezy. I did this procure a newer version of FFMPEG.
deb
ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
deb
ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org wheezy-backports main
It was then all my code written using the OpenVC started to break. I had a hunch it was my recent upgrade but not sure until I read the following.
“Make sure proper versions of ffmpeg or gstreamer is installed. Sometimes, it is a headache to work with Video Capture mostly due to wrong installation of ffmpeg/gstreamer.” ~

[ SOLUTION ]
This search will tell you what installed packages come from Debian Multimedia:
Code:
*aptitude search '~i ?origin(Unofficial Multimedia Packages)'
And this command removes them:
Code:
*aptitude purge '~i ?origin(Unofficial Multimedia Packages)'
Remove the deb-multimedia.org repository from the source.list file. Install FFMPEG and OpenVC and any additional packages that you need, since much was purged from your system during the downgrade.
Code:
sudo aptitude install python-opencv ffmpeg
