How to Install FFmpeg on Windows 10 Easy and Fast.
In this video we install FFmpeg on Windows 10 first we download and extract a static build of FFmpeg we then add our downloaded FFmpeg build to our system path so we are able to run it from any directory on our Windows 10 system simply by typing FFmpeg and not the full path to our FFmpeg binary.
Download link:
The download procedure has changed slightly you will need to download a specific zip file from the github link below:
github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases You need to download the ffmpeg zip file ending in "win64-gpl-4.3.zip"
--ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/-- old link no longer works
We finish off with testing our newly installed instance of FFmpeg by changing the scale of a 4k video to 1080p. One thing to note about this static build of FFmpeg is that it comes with support for nvidia nvenc hardware accelerated encoders and Intel quick sync.
So if you have a modern NVIDIA graphics card that has nvenc or a modern Intel CPU with support for quick sync you will be able to utilise those to dramatically accelerate video encoding tasks with FFmpeg.
