Encoding fails to start on Windows

[RolfHashcat]

Hi.

Trying to encode a file using Av1an on Windows, it fails to start. All prerequisites installed & binaries are in the same folder. Tried troubleshooting with different ffmpeg versions, placing files & folders on root drive - didn't help, same traceback observed.

C:\av1an>python av1an.py -i C:\col.mkv -o C:\col_av1.mkv -v " --cpu-used=2 --cq-level=18 --end-usage=q "

@RolfHashcat try putting all paths in " ". Also relative paths are recommended. python av1an.py -i "C:\col.mkv" -o "C:\col_av1.mkv " -v " --cpu-used=2 -cq-level=18 --end-usage=q "

Tried

python av1an.py -i "C:\col.mkv" -o "C:\col_av1.mkv " -v " --cpu-used=2 --cq-level=18 --end-usage=q " >python av1an.py -i col.mkv -o col_av1.mkv -v " --cpu-used=2 --cq-level=18 --end-usage=q " python av1an.py -i col.mkv -o colav1.mkv

same deal.

I know what's wrong. I'll fix it later today.

Thanks, it works now.
