Instructions:
- Get the latest build from the arrozcru autobuilds page
- Unzip the folder into C:/Program Files/ffmpeg
- Add C:/Program Files/ffmpeg/bin to your system’s PATH environment variable
Optional libx264 preset setup:
If you use libx264 presets (by using the -vpre flag) you need to do the following setup.
- Create a HOME environment variable for your user pointing to your home directory. (e.g. for Vista C:/Users/moose or for XP C:/Documents and Settings/moose )
- Create a .ffmpeg folder in your home directory
- Copy the preset files from C:/Program Files/ffmpeg/share/*.ffpreset into %HOME%/.ffmpeg
- Now you can open a command prompt and use ffmpeg. :D (e.g. This is my Vimeo video conversion command. ffmpeg -i input.mov -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -crf 24 -g 25 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -ar 44100 output.mp4 )
*note: libfaac is not included in the build since libfaac is considered to be a non-free plugin. :(
THANKS MAN for the HOME hint - that was exactky what I was looking for and could not find - where did you get this?
One addition that might be important: use -threads 0 to utilize all cores in your processor :)
Thanks very much. I don’t known to create environment variable but now i can do it.
