I want to convert an audio file from one format to another, so I used Pydub AudioSegment.

AudioSegment.from_file(input_filename, 'mp4')

The python script file runs perfectly, but when I bundle it as an executable using pyinstaller, I get the following error.

I read through Github issue pages and implemented the solutions suggested there, but that doesn't seem to work. I have placed the ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in my project directory and set the path using AudioSegment.converter

   Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "main.py", line 91, in change_format
        converted_audio = AudioSegment.from_file(input_filename, 'mp4')
      File "lib\site-packages\pydub\audio_segment.py", line 685, in from_file
      File "lib\site-packages\pydub\utils.py", line 274, in mediainfo_json
      File "subprocess.py", line 728, in __init__
      File "subprocess.py", line 1025, in _get_handles
    OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid

Please suggest ways to fix this.

`procmon` from sysinternals might provide you with some useful information – kmaork Jun 04 '20 at 20:40
how do you run the executable file? Are you redirecting its output? Also, which windows version are you on? This looks like a Windows issue. – Vishal Biswas Jun 06 '20 at 05:37
I'm using Windows 10. – Lakshmanan Meiyappan Jun 06 '20 at 08:20
you can edit the subprocess call per this example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43004804/8742968 – optimus_prime Jun 06 '20 at 11:50
