Instructions:

1. Get the latest build from the arrozcru autobuilds page
2. Unzip the folder into C:/Program Files/ffmpeg
3. 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.

1. 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 )
2. Create a .ffmpeg folder in your home directory
3. Copy the preset files from C:/Program Files/ffmpeg/share/*.ffpreset into %HOME%/.ffmpeg
4. 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. :(

Had a little visitor at our door a while ago. (Very little, that’s a finger in the background of the right picture.) Hope he’s doing ok. :)
