Can't open video saved on jetson xavier using OpenCV video writer


I possess a Jetson Xavier, and I'm able to access the camera through dev/video0 or GStreamer. However, when I try to save the video in AVI or MP4 formats, I'm unable to open it. Based on the video size, which is around 10-12 MB, I believe it should contain the frames. How can I properly save and reopen the video later?

import numpy as np
import cv2

source = "/dev/video0"
gstr = "v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM) ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw, format=BGRx ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=BGR ! appsink drop=1 "

# cap = cv2.VideoCapture(gstr, cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(source)

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID')
out = cv2.VideoWriter('./output.avi',fourcc, 30.0, (640,480))

count = 0
while(cap.isOpened()):
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if ret==True:
        out.write(frame)
        print(count)
        try:
            cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
            # cv2.imwrite("./log/"+str(count)+".jpg",frame)
        except:
            pass    
        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break
        count += 1
        if count >100:
            break        
    else:
        break
# Release everything if job is finished
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
