[Python] Webcam captured/ saved Video not playing ( not UTF-8 encoded )

This is the code that i am using to record the webcam and save it. The video gets saved successfully and the last line is also exceuted, but i cannot open it in the directory as it gives this : "File Load Error for My webcam_new.mp4 C:\Users\PMLS\A( DIP lab)\My webcam_new.mp4 is not UTF-8 encoded" If someone can figure this out!

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) # if we hav 2 webcams 0 for 1st and 1 for the2nd webcam

frame_width = int(cap.get(3)) # 3 means that width will be taken
frame_height = int(cap.get(4)) # 4 means that length or height will be taken

fourcc=cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"avc1") #this defines what format we need
out=cv2.VideoWriter("My webcam_new.mp4", fourcc, 20,(frame_width, frame_height))

while(cap.isOpened()): # if the webcam is not opened then we cannot capture
ret, frame = cap.read()

if not ret: # If the video has ended, break out of the loop
print("End of webcam!!!")
break

out.write(frame)
cv2.imshow("output_new", frame)

if cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break

cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
print("Got it!!!!")
