Webcam capture using OpenCV only capturing one frame

[devedse]

I've written the following code:

import cv2
import numpy as np
import time

print("Starting...")

time.sleep(1)

c = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(1):
    print("Capturing...")

    didItWork,f = c.read()

    print(didItWork)

    cv2.imwrite("output.jpg", f)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

The first frame is captured correctly and stored as output.jpg, however after that it hangs on the c.read() code.

I can't even cancel the program by pressing CTRL + C. Only if I unplug the webcam afterwards it seems to exit: (I pressed CTRL + C after the second Capturing..., after that I unplugged the webcam and then the messages came regarding traceback....)

I'm not really sure where to start so I was hoping you might have an idea?
