Hi am getting this error Unable to choose an output format..... i already downloaded potplayer etc

[leoRubberduck]

Hi I have downloaded all the perquisites and even made sure i am using cuda 11.0 but when I run this either from source or the cpu, it goes though all the steps, cleans the mosaic but at the last step it I get this error:

[AVFormatContext @ 0x55bdd57bdc80] Unable to choose an output format for './result/edit.mp4/edit'; use a standard extension for the filename or specify the format manually.
[out#0 @ 0x55bdd57bb5c0] Error initializing the muxer for ./result/edit.mp4/edit: Invalid argument
Error opening output file ./result/edit.mp4/edit.
Error opening output files: Invalid argument
Clean temp...
Finished!

I chat gpt the error and it said this :

The error message you're encountering indicates that the output file path does not have a standard video file extension, which is necessary for the format to be recognized. Here's how to fix this issue:

Steps to Fix the Output File Extension Error

1. Check Output Path in Your Code:
   Open the deepmosaic.py file and locate the section where the output file path is specified. Ensure that the output file name includes a valid video file extension such as .mp4, .avi, or .mov.

   For example, if you have code like this:

   output_file = './result/edit'

   Change it to:

   output_file = './result/edit.mp4'

2. Modify the Output File Name in the Script:
   In the main() function or wherever the output file is being defined, make sure it looks something like this:

   output_file = os.path.join(opt.temp_dir, 'output_video.mp4')  # Make sure to use a valid extension

3. Ensure the Output Directory Exists:
   Make sure that the ./result/ directory exists. If it doesn't, create it before running your script:

   mkdir -p ./result

4. Run Your Command Again:
   After making the changes, run your command again:

   python3 deepmosaic.py --media_path "/mnt/c/Users/Leoke/Downloads/edit 4 - Made with Clipchamp.mp4" --model_path ./pretrained_models/mosaic/clean_youknow_video.pth --gpu_id 0

Additional Tips

• Debugging: If you're still encountering issues, you can add print statements in the deepmosaic.py file to check the value of the output file path before the script tries to save the output.

• Log Errors: If the script has a logging mechanism, consider checking those logs for more detailed error messages.

By ensuring that the output file path has a valid file extension and that the directory structure is in place, you should be able to resolve this error. Let me know if you need further help!

I tried everything and I still get the same error over and over again. Any help much apricated.
