This error occurs because the software lacks sufficient permissions to write files to the
D:\win-videotrans-v3.80\models\ directory, typically due to Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions or antivirus software interference.
Quick Solution:
1. Run as Administrator: Right-click on sp.exe and select "Run as administrator" to grant elevated privileges.
2. Move Software Location: Relocate the entire win-videotrans-v3.80 folder to a user-writable directory like C:\Users\[YourUsername]\Desktop\ or D:\ (not in system-protected areas like Program Files).
3. Temporarily Disable Antivirus: Add the software folder to your antivirus exclusion list or temporarily disable it during model download.
Detailed Explanation:
The error [WinError 1314] A required privilege is not held by the client indicates that pyVideoTrans (v3.80) cannot move downloaded model files (faster-whisper-large-v3-turbo) to the target directory. This is common when:
- The software is installed in system-protected locations (e.g.,
C:\Program Files).
- Windows UAC blocks file operations.
- Antivirus software restricts file modifications.
Additional Notes:
- Ensure you have at least 5GB free space on the target drive.
- If issues persist, use the dedicated model downloader tools from pyvideotrans.com/faster-whisper-download to manually install models.
- For further troubleshooting, check the log file at
win-videotrans-v3.80\videotrans\logs\[current_date].log.
Always download the software from the official source at pyvideotrans.com/downpackage to avoid permission issues with modified distributions.
