Installing FFmpeg on Windows

1. Download a static build of FFmpeg for Windows.
2. Create a directory somewhere on your computer and copy the contents of the ffmpeg zip into it.
   • I suggest placing it in a place like C:/ffmpeg
3. You should now have a folder called bin inside the ffmpeg folder you've created.
   • For example; if you placed your folder at C:/ffmpeg, you should have a folder at C:/ffmpeg/bin
4. Open your Environment Variables and add the path to your ffmpeg's bin folder to the Path variable.
   1. Start > Search for enviroment > Select Edit the system enviroment variables > Click Enviroment Variables... at the bottom of the dialog
   2. Select Path and click Edit in the top section > Click New and enter the path (eg: C:/ffmpeg/bin) > Click Ok and Ok
   3. To check you've done this correctly, open command prompt or powershell and type ffmpeg, you should see something like this.

You should now have FFmpeg installed on your system and avaliable via the Path.
