#3899 System Error (20): The directory name is invalid

This error indicates that the file path or directory name is invalid, typically due to exceeding Windows' path length limit or containing special characters.

Solution:

1. Shorten the file path: Move the video file to a shallow directory (e.g., D:\videos) and rename it to a short name using only English letters and numbers.
2. Remove special characters: Ensure the file name does not contain spaces, Chinese characters, emojis, or symbols like ?, *.
3. Check software location: Ensure pyVideoTrans is installed in a simple path without special characters or spaces (e.g., D:\pyVideoTrans). Do not install it in system-protected directories like C:\Program Files.
