The core cause: torch\lib\shm.dll failed to load, usually because the Microsoft C++ runtime is missing on the system (this DLL depends on the VC++ runtime), or because the package was extracted incompletely or a file was removed by antivirus software.

Execution steps:

Install/repair the Microsoft VC++ runtime: download and install https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe, then restart the computer.
Confirm the package is complete: first-time users must use the full package above 2.6GB, not the ~260MB patch package. Re-extract the full package completely to a simple English path (e.g., D:\pyVideoTrans), and do not double-click inside the archive.
Antivirus: add the entire _internal folder and the software root directory to the trusted whitelist, then check whether _internal\torch\lib\shm.dll has been quarantined or deleted.
If it still does not work after reinstalling the runtime and re-extracting, provide the latest log in the logs/ directory (the last 30 lines of error information) for further analysis.
