This error indicates a file lock conflict: final_audio_temp.wav is being used by another process, preventing pyVideoTrans from moving it.

Solutions:

  1. Close other programs – Make sure no media player, file explorer, or antivirus is accessing the tmp folder or the file final_audio_temp.wav.
  2. Disable real-time antivirus temporarily – Add the entire pyVideoTrans folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, or pause real-time scanning while the task runs.
  3. Clear temp files – Close pyVideoTrans, then delete the entire tmp folder inside the software directory (e.g., D:\pyVideoTrans\tmp). Restart the software and retry.
  4. Avoid duplicate instances – Ensure only one sp.exe is running. Open Task Manager, end any extra pyVideoTrans processes.
  5. Use a shorter, simpler path – Extract the software to a location with no spaces or special characters, e.g., D:\pyVideoTrans, and restart the task.

If the error persists after following these steps, please share the latest log file (from logs/ folder, last ~30 lines) for further analysis.
