"Too many input arguments" when running VideoWriter

I get the following error when I try to run VideoWriter, even when I use the example code found in the help document for VideoWriter as well as from the web

>> VideoWriter('test.avi');
??? Error using ==> VideoWriter.VideoWriter>VideoWriter.VideoWriter at 199
Too many input arguments.

Any ideas?

Which release are you using?

It ran just fine when I did it. Take the semicolon off and see it if spits anything out to the command window.

Just got exactly the same issue with release 2013b. Could not find the cause but closing Matlab and re-launching it solved the problem.
