PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

Dear juanmcasillas,
installed python and gopro2gpx to extract GPS data from my MP4 files. With some trouble I activated python and your program. But when I try to extract data from a MP4 files I am stuck with "PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied " error. It seems the call to FFMPEG is not going well. I am not familiar with Python or FFMPEG. Searched the internet on the error, found a number of hits but did not find a solution. Maybe you have an idea what might be wrong.
c:\Python39\Scripts>python -m gopro2gpx-script -vvv GX020115.mp4 d:\test

Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks, FFMPEG and FFPROBE can be found independed from the directory where I am starting like PYTHON.
But I will look further.
Ffmpeg runs ok from the command line. Used your example to get a bin file from a mp4 file and this works ok. Something to do with the interfacing between Python an the Ffmpeg module I think.
I have the same issue with spotdl. When I run this command in admin commandline, it crashes: python -m spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/254bXAqt3zP6P50BdQvEsq?si=e9a5afba89b347cc --format "mp3" --bitrate "128k" --ffmpeg c:/ffmpeg/bin
When I remove the "-ffmpeg" argument (and let spotdl install ffmpeg locally before that) The error PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied is gone.
Hello, have you tried to run the script as administrator ? looks like the permission for ffmpeg are not setting right
I copied ffmpeg to windows folder and it worked. I don't know why.
