FFmpeg Install Procedure (Working 05.Nov.2020)

If you feel like dropping a dollar on me :)

FFmpeg is a super useful video codec tool that is ridiculously complicated to set up and use. Maybe some day the devs will come up with a standardized installer and make this video useless, but until then this video describes how to install ffmpeg and set the path variable in windows 7 and 10 so it can be used anywhere on your PC.

On my computer is everything german... cant find the control panels!

[matttttttthewwu]

Sorry for the question, but when I download the ffmpeg it asks which app I should open it in? idk what to do about that :(

[natashalawely]

also fyi for anyone else using google chrome: try another browser or Gyan.dev's mirror site! chrome will block the download bc it's classified as "dangerous" (the software isn't actually dangerous tho!)
