running into issues after install

[mmalto]

i ran through the windows installer. i've been reading up on how this all works but im not sure if i missed needing to install something that the windows installer missed, if i have to run as administrator or what, but everything continually gets permission denied when i try to do anything (in the dos box that opens up when you run) . i started with depth engine, found my video, selected 'video depth anything onnx' and when i click process video get this:

Exception in threading.excepthook:
Exception ignored in thread started by <bound method Thread._bootstrap of <Thread(Thread-2 (process_video2), started 15320)>>:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "core\render_depth.py", line 3164, in _log_ex
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'vd3d_crash.log'

i have an amd 9900x, 64gb ram and a 5090 rtx nvidia grafx card. not sure what i'm missing. i looked for videos on yt, but alas, it's just conversion, not how to use. hoping this works better than owl3d which takes forever and crashes frequently. i am not overclocking ram or cpu.

thanks!

one thing i just noticed is that there was a pop up after install that says this: '_tkinter.tkapp' object has no attribute 'open_install_folder'

looks like the issue was that the ffmpeg files were not in the root of the folder when i installed. for some reason i missed where it said these are needed. i assumed everything was in the windows installer. gonna take 9 hrs to process the depth map using distill-any-depth-large. getting 5 fps. is that normal?
