I understand that ffmpeg is a powerful tool for video file conversions. I see online in many places people suggesting it for solutions or getting help in how to use it. The problem is I don't even know how to set it up or use it at all. These posts I'm talking about usually take the form 'Use ffmpeg [complicated and unreadable line of code].' I'm not really a programmer, but I can do few things, so I think I can figure it out, if I just had a bit of direction. How do I set up and use ffmpeg in Windows?

Ffmpeg is indeed a powerful video encoder/decoder. It operates in the command line, as opposed to using a GUI.

Command line is that black window you find by clicking [windows+r] and typing cmd then hitting enter. This is also called 'command prompt'.

Once setup you enter ffmpeg commands in one of these windows to use it. Here are the basic steps to 'install' and use it: Installation • Go to and download the zip file that best fits you computer's specs. Choose 'static' linking and the 'nightly git' version for the most current usability. • Create a folder on your computer to uppack the zip file.

This folder will be your 'installation' folder. I chose C: Program Files ffmpeg. This is a good idea because you will treat this like a regular program. Unpack the zip file into this folder. • The folder should now contain a number of other folders, including one titled bin where ffmpeg.exe is saved. We're not done yet. Double clicking that file does nothing.

Remember, this is a command line program. It runs in cmd.

The Command Prompt will now recognize ffmpeg commands and will attempt to run them. Updating ffmpeg To update ffmpeg, just revisit the download page in step 1 above and download the zip file.
