Crash on loading the video, windows 10

[redreamality]

I believe this is a very common scenario.

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "***\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\moviepy\video\io\VideoFileClip.py", line 91, in __init__
    fps_source=fps_source)
  File "***\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\moviepy\video\io\ffmpeg_reader.py", line 73, in __init__
    self.lastread = self.read_frame()
  File "***\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\moviepy\video\io\ffmpeg_reader.py", line 145, in read_frame
    result = np.frombuffer(s, dtype='uint8')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '__buffer__' 

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

from moviepy.editor import *
clip = VideoFileClip("2.mp4")
