Okay so I downloaded and saved the script as a .py file in a folder named Python on the D; Drive, and also moved my video file to a folder in my D: drive with the name Video. I tried using it in Command Prompt, Python, and Python IDLE, but I got the same error saying
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character I know this is probably user error, but I am a complete novice so I need a little more explanation than "provide a file argument" please. I need to know how exactly to implement the file argument you provided. Thank you again and sorry for the misunderstanding.
