This error is typically caused by a file path or file system permission issue on macOS, often related to the software's installation directory or the location of input/output files.

Solution Steps:

  1. Move the Software: Ensure pyVideoTrans is installed in a simple directory with a short path. Avoid placing it in system-protected directories like /Users/zhangfan/Library/. Move the entire pyvideotrans folder to a location like /Users/zhangfan/Desktop/ or /Users/zhangfan/Documents/.
  2. Check File Names: Ensure the video/audio files you are processing have short names and do not contain special characters (e.g., ?, *, emojis). Rename them if necessary.
  3. Ensure FFmpeg is Installed: Since you are running the source code version on macOS, confirm that FFmpeg is installed and accessible in your system's PATH. You can verify by opening a terminal and typing ffmpeg -version.
  4. Grant Permissions: If the error persists, ensure the software has read/write permissions for the directory it's in and the directory containing your media files. You may need to adjust permissions using chmod in the terminal.

If the problem continues after these steps, please provide the latest log file from the logs/ folder in your pyVideoTrans directory (copy the bottom ~30 lines of the error log).
