For Windows 10: - Extract the files into *any* folder of your liking, C:\ffmpeg seems a good candidate - Open ControlPanel/System - Click Advanced System Settings in the left column - Click "Environment Variables" at the bottom - In the bottom panel select the item "path" and hit button Edit - Click button "New" - Type in C:\ffmpeg into the box (the location of the binaries) - OK out Now the dir you entered is added to the Windows path and whatever binary is inside will be found. NOTE: I only take your word for where the binary files land when you extract the archive. If there is a bin dir or similar in the exttracted dir then that is probably the dir you want to add as described. And to second Mark Filipak's response: I also recommend Handbrake to do format conversions and the like using a GUI. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
