OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, x64 build.
Version of youtube-dl: Binary build from your page
Issue: -x option fails, due to it not detecting that ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed and in $PATH (the binaries are in C:\Windows\System32)

Log: https://gist.github.com/infodox/7151909

No idea what exactly is causing this, any ideas on fix? Also, I tried running it from source (after a pip install youtube-dl) but it simply did not work on Windows. On Arch linux pip install youtube-dl works fine, so that is a case of 'lolwindows'

I checked it on windows and seemed to work fine, could you post the output when running youtube-dl --version?
With the last version, installing with pip will install an executable in windows, you may want to try it.

The following gist is the pip.log of the failure to install using pip install youtube-dl from an admin shell.

The youtube-dl version I am currently using is 2013.10.01.1, both ffmpeg and ffplay are in the $PATH.
