In this tutorial we covered how to install FFmpeg on Windows. FFmpeg should now be installed on your Windows system and you can start using it to convert or encode your video and audio files. To check if ffmpeg is installed on Windows just run ffmpeg in the command line and it should output some information about our version of ffmpeg, such as available codecs, ffmpeg version, and some other things. If everything went well, we should be able to use ffmpeg from the command-line. Here’s how it looks like when you run the command in the Command Prompt: You can change C:\ffmpeg\bin with something else, if you have placed ffmpeg elsewhere. To do this just open a command promp (cmd) as an Administrator and run: setx /m PATH "C:\ffmpeg\bin %PATH%" Add FFmpeg to PATH Using the Command-Line The command-line method is faster and we’ll do it this way. You can do this in multiple ways, such as by using the command-line or using the Windows graphical interface. Like we said before the PATH is the system variable that your operating system uses to locate needed executables from the command-line. You can see for yourself if you go inside ffmpeg\bin: Next we want to add the path to the directory containing ffmpeg.exe (and a few other executables) to our PATH environment variable. So the path will be C:\ffmpeg in my case. Next we’ll move the archive somewhere in the C: drive. Now extract the archive and rename it to something simple, like ffmpeg. If you can’t extract it make sure to download and install 7zip on your system. It’s a link that will download the archive in 7zip format. On that page click on ffmpeg-git-full.7z.
