Locked How to download the latest ffmpeg for windows


Sarah k Alawami
 

Using nvda 22.x and Windows 11 21H2 (x64) build 22000.795. I have this issue in Firefox, chrome, edge.

 

  • 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.

Hello Sarah,

For Windows the link looks like this:

http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows

I hope this is what you want.

Cheers,

I don't know just what you are looking for.  Using Firefox, I find, quite a way down the page, links that say these things:
Download FFmpeg
 Download Source Code
ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2
    Download PGP Signing Key
ffmpeg-devel.asc

Do any of those links do what you want?

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

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.

No, it does not help.  I see the same page with the Linux snaps etc. no windows binaries or zip files containing dll like I saw last year.  Believe me I’ve been trying to download these for months from the ffmpeg.org website and getting nowhere.

Yes exactly. It used to be there.  Yet according to the video you are supposed to hover over the windows link and get the files. I even tried clicking and using document view to look at the page. No joy’s. you are seeing the same thing I’m seeing then.

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 Is this out of date now?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.

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.

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.

I was able to get it to work. Unfortunately, the links that switch between displaying Linux, Windows and MacOS links are not labelled, nor keyboard accessible. If I tab between said links in focus mode, then route the mouse pointer to the navigator object (I have navigator follows focus on), the links below changed appropriately for me. Windows is the second of three unlabelled links.


Sarah k Alawami
 

Wow, ok, so you can see the other items he talks about. Ok then, hmm interesting. I got what I needed from there other place; I just hope that side does not go down like one of the sites linked to in an earlier video this guy did.

I looked at the page.  I looked using Firefox and I haven't checked with other browsers. 


The links you are talking about are not labeled but I can move to them in browse mode by tabbing, up and down arrowing, and using k, the NVDA move by link command.

However, this page has real problems regarding how these unlabeled links work.

When I follow the second link, the link to the windows files with JAVA scripts enabled, nothing happens.  If I follow it with JAVA scripts disabled, I'm not sure if a page reloads with the Windows portion shown or if a new page reloads but I can see the Windows downloads.

It appears you don't need JAVA scripts enabled  to download from the page.

Are you using a script blocker or do you have JAVA scripts turned off?

I don’t think I’m using an add blocker on chrome, I can’t’ remember. I’m not the only one with this issue, however. You are right the page needs a lot of accessibility work, it is not one of the easiest pagesw to use. Oh well.

Hello as I said the official site does not provide binaries for Windows.

From its official page it refers to these two pages once we choose the second link:

Windows EXE Files
Windows builds from gyan.dev
Windows builds by BtbN


The first is the one I passed yesterday that I think is the best because it has even api to check versions and their binaries are copiled from the same repo of ffmpeg and an advantage over the second has 32-bit binaries:

https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/

The second site where it says we can download binaries is the following repository:

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases
It does not give more alternatives.

I still recommend the first option as it gives us the possibility to download also 32-bit and is updated daily.

Greetings.

Wow, how did you get those sites from the page? Nothing happens when I click the second unlabeled link. That page is over all a mess as far as accessibility is concerned IMHO.

I looked at the page.  I looked using Firefox and I haven't checked with other browsers. 


The links you are talking about are not labeled but I can move to them in browse mode by tabbing, up and down arrowing, and using k, the NVDA move by link command.

However, this page has real problems regarding how these unlabeled links work.

When I follow the second link, the link to the windows files with JAVA scripts enabled, nothing happens.  If I follow it with JAVA scripts disabled, I'm not sure if a page reloads with the Windows portion shown or if a new page reloads but I can see the Windows downloads.

It appears you don't need JAVA scripts enabled  to download from the page.

Are you using a script blocker or do you have JAVA scripts turned off?

I was able to get it to work. Unfortunately, the links that switch between displaying Linux, Windows and MacOS links are not labelled, nor keyboard accessible. If I tab between said links in focus mode, then route the mouse pointer to the navigator object (I have navigator follows focus on), the links below changed appropriately for me. Windows is the second of three unlabelled links.

Looks like they are diving into linux all the way.

Even the archived links don't show a windows option.

No, it does not help.  I see the same page with the Linux snaps etc. no windows binaries or zip files containing dll like I saw last year.  Believe me I’ve been trying to download these for months from the ffmpeg.org website and getting nowhere.

Hello Sarah,

For Windows the link looks like this:

http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows

I hope this is what you want.

Cheers,

Konu: [nvda] How to download the latest ffmpeg for windows

 

Using nvda 22.x and Windows 11 21H2 (x64) build 22000.795. I have this issue in Firefox, chrome, edge.

 

  1. Launch http://www.ffmpeg.org
  2. Click download
  3. 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.

I explained yesterday that having JAVA scripts off will cause the proper page or the proper part of the page to pop up.  The rest of the page will still be there and if you aren't on the right part, you have to look for it but somewhere on the page, you will find text about Windows files.
