Ah, OK. The problem here is that in your case the Windows Prompt is:


C:\Users\natha>

So don't type the "C:\Windows\prompt>" bit, that is just illustrative to
show it is a Windows prompt. (I don't know how your PC is set up so
can't predict what the Windows Prompt looks like on your PC, so I
used a generic prompt.)

So you type:

python D:\Python\bytsh.py D:\Video\test.mp4

at the

C:\Users\natha>

prompt.


Hopefully that should work with no errors messages.
However, it will not do anything to your file. You will need more
python code to do that. Presumably from the same place that
you found the current script?
