  Installing for Windows / Using FFmpeg

  Posted by Eric Johnson on April 8, 2010 at 11:33 pm

  Hi,
  I have a poor track record with command line apps so I’m discouraged right off the bat. I downloaded “ffmpeg-checkout-snapshot.tar.bz2” and de-TAR’ed it to get the “ffmpeg-checkout-2010-04-08” folder. What do I do now? Could not find any basic information among the sub-folders and documents within the main folder or on https://www.ffmpeg.org.

  I have not built FFmpeg on windows (only osx and linux) but I did some digging on the topic for you anyway.

  The FFmpeg documentation page refers to this page for all windows needs:
  https://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/

  This wiki seems to have step by step instructions for the various build options on windows:
  https://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

  I will give it a go myself when I get the chance.

  Let me know how this goes for you.

  Michael
