    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.

    - To save image sequence use a proper filename (eg. `img_%02d.jpg`) and `fourcc=0`
      OR `fps=0`. Use uncompressed image format (eg. `img_%02d.BMP`) to save raw frames.
    - Most codecs are lossy. If you want lossless video file you need to use a lossless codecs
      (eg. FFMPEG FFV1, Huffman HFYU, Lagarith LAGS, etc...)
    - If FFMPEG is enabled, using `codec=0; fps=0;` you can create an uncompressed (raw) video file.
