#8747 Video file selection required

The selected file was not recognized as a valid video path. The usual causes are: a long file name with emoji/special characters, a path that is too deep or contains special symbols, a file whose extension is actually not a video/audio format, or the software running from a restricted/system folder.

Handle it in this order:

1. Move the software out of the user Videos folder first. It is currently running from C:/Users/Ritesh/Videos/Captures/win-pyvideotrans-v4.18, which is a deep path inside a user media library. Move the whole extracted folder to a short pure-English path, e.g. D:/pyVideoTrans, then start sp.exe from there.
2. Rename the video to a short plain name, e.g. video1.mp4, with no emoji, spaces or special characters, and place it in a shallow folder such as D:/videos.
3. In the system, turn on file extension display (File Explorer → View → File name extensions), then confirm the file really ends with .mp4/.mkv/.avi/.mov/.wav/.mp3 and is not an .srt, .webm partial download or a shortcut.
4. Re-select the file with the Select Video/Audio button instead of drag-and-drop, and make sure it appears in the file list on row 1 before clicking Start.
5. Do not double-click sp.exe inside the archive; extract fully first, and add the software folder to your antivirus trusted list.

If the same message appears after these steps, the cause cannot be determined from the current information. Provide the last 30 lines of the newest file in the logs/ folder under the software installation directory (the console shows only WARNING level; the log file has the details).
