Installing FFMPEG on a Windows system

Had to do this, so I make a note of it.

  1. Download the latest ffmpeg build:
    Full: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z
    Essentials: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z
  2. Buy this dude a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gyan
  3. Unpack your downloaded software
  4. Create a folder in your root, like C:\ffmpeg
  5. Move the three folders BIN, DOCS, PRESETS into the ffmpeg folder
  6. Open CMD with admin rights
  7. Paste the following into the command terminal and hit enter:
    setx /m PATH "C:\ffmpeg\bin;%PATH%"
  8. Type “ffmpeg” in the terminal and you should see a reply from the software.
  9. Done.
