The library is needed for FFmpeg.

The library is needed for FFmpeg.

Can you use 4.6 ?

[asmorkalov]

Fixed in 4.7.0.70

pip install opencv-python==4.6.0.66 I am using macOS Big Sur 11.5. I tried with 4.7.0.72, but doesn't work, then I tried 4.6.0.66 and it worked

[Thoughtyness]

On macOS BigSur 11.7.10, 4.8.1.78 works, but the next version I can install, 4.9.0.80, reproduces this error.

[asmorkalov]

OpenCV team uses Github Action provided VMs for Mac OS build and Brew packages for dependencies. The last release was done for MasOS 11 x86_64 and MacOS 12 arm64 due to dependencies reason. I'll take a look if we can decrease requirements for the next release, but probability is low.

I have the same issue on Mac OS Big Sur version 11.7.10

I have the same error on Mac Big Sur 11.7.10.

If you find a solution let me know. I got exactly the same
