Installing and Running FFmpeg

Install and Run FFmpeg

The installation of FFmpeg will NOT modify any environment variable or registry item of a Windows 10 system but does require administrator access.

Using FFmpeg-n4.3.1 as an example, assume the build directory is located at

C:\FFmpeg-n4.3.1\NI_MSVS2019-n4.3.1\build 

and all output files are located in there.

1. Click the setup.msi generated in the build directory

2. Choose your own installation path as administrator, for example
   C:\Program Files\NETINT
   
3. Run a command prompt as Administrator

4. Add installation path into %PATH% variable and run init_rsrc command
   
5. Start another command prompt and run your own ffmpeg command
