#7965 Video file selection required

This message means the software did not receive a valid input file path when you clicked Start (Start) — the file list is empty. It is not an error of the install itself.

Checklist:

1. Click the top-left Select Video/Audio button and pick an actual file (mp4/mkv/avi/mov/wav/mp3...). Do not type a path manually.
2. If you checked Folder, you must select a folder in the dialog that opens — checking Folder alone with no folder chosen produces this same warning.
3. Do not start a second instance of sp.exe while one is already running; verify only one window is open and the file name is visible in the input field.
4. Move the video to a simple path and rename it using only English letters/digits/underscore, e.g. D:/videos/001.mp4. Special characters, spaces, emoji, or very long paths can make the selection fail to register.
5. Note your install location is C:/Users/Artem/Downloads/win-pyvideotrans-v4.15. Downloads is scanned/blocked by some antivirus tools and may cause file-access issues. Recommended: move the whole folder to a short, non-system path such as D:\pyVideoTrans (or at least C:\pyVideoTrans), then run sp.exe from there — preferably as administrator once, and add the folder to your antivirus whitelist.
6. If the input field does show the file but the warning still appears, or if the app crashed/no window appeared, provide the log below.

If it still fails after the above, this cannot be diagnosed from the information given. Please provide the newest file in the logs/ folder inside the software directory (copy the last ~30 lines).
