Having Trouble Playing Video Through OpenCV C++

So I am trying to make OpenCV play the Megamind.avi video for me, but everytime I run my code it gives me this error:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

It also occurs whenever I run the sample OpenCV video reading and writing program, so I'm not sure if something is screwed up on my end or has there been a change in OpenCV that broke some methods. Here is my code for reference:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main()
{
  const string source = "Megamind.avi";
  VideoCapture inputVideo(source);
  if (!inputVideo.isOpened())
  {
    cout  << "Could not open the input video" << source << endl;
    return -1;
  }
  cout  << "read!" << endl;
  namedWindow("Video",1);
  for(;;){
      Mat frame;
      inputVideo >> frame; // get a new frame from camera
      imshow("Video", frame);
      if(waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
  }
  VideoWriter outputVideo;
  return 0;
}

Also if I apply the program to the vtest.avi video file in the same github repo, it returns this error.

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (size.width>0 && size.height>0) in imshow, file /tmp/opencv-20161020-7399-1yrk4nm/opencv-2.4.13.1/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 261
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type cv::Exception: /tmp/opencv-20161020-7399-1yrk4nm/opencv-2.4.13.1/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:261: error: (-215) size.width>0 && size.height>0 in function imshow

I read up online to add this if statement in the for loop:

if (!frame.empty()) {
      imshow("window", frame);
}

but there results in just an empty window. Not sure if this changes my issue at all.
