Wow looks like then the ffmpeg site is indeed broken in terms of the links that are supposed to redirect you. If you look at the YouTube video, he did get it to work, but I wonder how, maybe it truly is a hover, if it is that will not work for us.

Hello.

This is what it says on the official site:

Get packages & executable files
FFmpeg only provides source code. Below are some links that provide it already compiled and ready

And the links that are supposed to direct to external sites that do provide the binaries do not open.

So, as I said, this has been the case for a long time and they stopped officially building binaries for Windows.

Either you build it yourself from the source code or use for example the page I shared that generates the binaries from the same ffmpeg repository.

Regards.

Hmm, look at the video, that was as of last year. Is this out of date now? Even the  reaper wiki written this year points to the ffmpeg.org to download the  windows  version of ffmpeg esentials. I’m not sure when the video was done, it was some time last year or early this year.

Hello, the official ffmpeg site has not been building binaries for Windows for a long time.

In fact, it refers to other pages to get the binaries.

I leave the one I use.

Also, I looked at a lot of the page after I followed the download link but I found no Windows link.

  • Launch http://www.ffmpeg.org
  • Click download
  • There should be a windows link then a link to the essentials and / or other EXE binaries.

 

Here’s the problem. There is not one. I see an unlabeled link I found to be windows; however, I cannot find the links I need. They used to be there in November last year when I had to do this, however something in the site’s \code changed. A bit of help as I really do think something broke. I just need someone else to verify this. I watched a YouTube video that said how to do this, except I cannot find any of the links mentioned.  Sorry if this comes out a bit odd, I’m having keyboard getting stuck issues as I’m running out of memory on this system, again.
