Error, error contains "ffprobe exect error"
If you frequently encounter errors containing characters like "ffprobe except error" during execution, it is likely that the video name is too long or the path to the video is too deep. This is especially common for videos downloaded from YouTube, where the names are generally hundreds of characters or even longer. If the folder where the video is stored also has a deep hierarchy, you will almost certainly encounter the path length limitation on Windows.
Like the above picture, the folder hierarchy is deep and the video name is long. When calling ffprobe
or ffmpeg
to execute commands, you will almost certainly get an error.
The solution is very simple. Create an English folder under a certain drive, then change the video to a simple name and put it in, such as D:/myvideos/1.mp4
, and try again. It should be error-free.
