nodejs don't close file handle on windows?

After running the following code, the file handle is still opened on Windows, how to close it?

var Name="1.mp4";
var inp = fs.createReadStream("Temp/" + Name);
var out = fs.createWriteStream("Video/" + Name);
inp.pipe(out);
inp.on("end", function() {
  fs.unlink("Temp/" + Name, function (){
    out.close();
    console.log("unlink this file:",Name );
  });
});

You need to close inp too not just out. You can do this by calling inp.close(); at the same point you already call out.close();.

Also you could simply move the file with 

fs.rename("Temp/" + Name, "Video/" + Name, function() {
    console.log("Renamed:", Name)
});

rather than rewriting the file.
