This error is caused by a missing or corrupted libsndfile.dll library, which is required for audio file processing. The issue occurs because the software is being run directly from within the compressed archive (.rar file), preventing the necessary DLL from being loaded correctly.

Solution Steps:

  1. Extract the software: You must fully extract the downloaded .7z or .rar archive to a local folder on your hard drive (e.g., D:\pyVideoTrans). Do not run the software (sp.exe) from inside the archive or a temporary folder.
  2. Check the path: Ensure the extraction path contains no Chinese characters, spaces, or special symbols.
  3. Use the correct executable: After extraction, navigate to the extracted folder and run sp.exe from there.
  4. (If the error persists) The DLL file might be missing from the package. Re-download the full version of the software (not the patch/update package) and extract it again.

Important: The error log shows your current path is C:/Users/eydib/AppData/Local/Temp/Rar$EXa11472.44538, which is a temporary extraction folder created by your archive tool (like WinRAR). This is not a valid installation path and will cause various file access issues.
