Hiding the ffmpeg popup that appears momentarily

[Menonro]

On Windows there is a problem due to which FFMPEG running in the background becomes small for a second during startup.

Context: "Whisper" is used in conjunction with FastAPI and uvicorn. The service is started using pm2.

The problem does not exist if you run it manually from a regular console using "python main.py"

CREATE_NO_WINDOW is only valid on Windows platforms. The import fails for other OS's.

CREATE_NO_WINDOW действителен только на платформах Windows. Импорт не удался для других ОС.

I made a commit based on your comment.

This line of the proposed change

from subprocess import CalledProcessError, run, CREATE_NO_WINDOW

will fail with ImportError: cannot import name 'CREATE_NO_WINDOW' from 'subprocess'
on non-Windows platforms.

Thank you for your patience, I will install myself a virtual machine for testing. I'm testing it on my Windows. Made a correction so that import occurs only on Windows systems.
