Error Messages with "ffmpeg" Mentioned

Possible Causes:

  • FFmpeg errors occur due to spaces or special characters (e.g., []{}*?$^@%+=&, Arabic text, etc.) in the video name or path.

Please rename the video to a simple new name composed of English letters and numbers, and move the video to a directory composed of simple characters such as English letters, numbers, and underscores. This applies to the parent and grandparent directories as well.

For example:

C:/Program file/videos is not allowed because it contains spaces.

D:/videos[001] is also not allowed because it contains special characters [].

E:/中文 ceshi 개하였다 This contains Chinese, Korean characters and spaces, which will cause an error.

E:/myvideos001 This is fine because it has no spaces or special characters.

  • The original video may not contain an audio track, especially videos downloaded from YouTube. By default, silent videos and audio are downloaded separately and need to be synthesized afterwards. If they are not synthesized, the video will have no sound. Please play the video to confirm.
  • The video may be corrupted and cannot be played.
  • The video folder or save folder may not have write permissions. Please move it to a location with write permissions, or on Windows, right-click and run as administrator.
