How to Install FFmpeg on Windows 8
FFmpeg is an open-source media tool you can use to convert any video format into the one you need. The tool is command-line only, which means it doesn't have a graphical, clickable interface. If you're used to installing regular graphical Windows programs, installing FFmpeg may seem complicated at firstâbut don't worry, it's actually pretty easy! This article will teach you the simplest way to install FFmpeg on your Windows 8 PC.
Step 1: Download FFmpeg for Windows
Go to https://ffmpeg.org/download.html. This brings you to a page containing the latest FFmpeg install packages and binary files. If you don't have an app that can decompress files ending with the .7z file extension, such as WinRAR or 7Zip, you must install one before you can continue.
Click the Windows logo. It's the blue square with a white window inside.
Click Windows builds from gyan.dev. This takes you to a page that contains FFmpeg builds specifically for Windows that contains all of the hardware libraries you could possibly need. If you prefer, you could click Windows builds by BtbN instead, which is another Windows build of FFmpeg. There are a variety of builds available from different websitesâthe official FFmpeg website may add more as they become available.
Step 2: Extract the downloaded file
Scroll down to the \"git\" section. It's about halfway down the page between the set of green boxes and the \"release\" sections.
Click the link to download ffmpeg-git-full.7z. The full text of the link is https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z. This link downloads the latest FFmpeg files to your PC in a compressed format.
Right-click the Windows/Start button and select File Explorer.
Click the Downloads folder in the left panel (you may have to click This PC first to find it).
Right-click ffmpeg-*-git-*full_build.7z (the file name will vary depending on the current release).
Select Extract Here and wait for the files to extract. This creates a new folder with the same name as the .7z file.
Step 3: Move and rename the extracted folder
Rename the extracted folder to FFmpeg. To do this, just right-click the folder, type FFmpeg, and press the Enter key.
Click the FFmpeg folder once and press Control + X. This \"cuts\" the folder from the Downloads folder so you can paste it into the root of your hard drive.
Click This PC in File Explorer.
Double-click your hard drive. It's usually called \"Windows (C:)\" or \"Local Disk (C:)\" but the name and drive letter may vary.
Right-click a blank area of the right panel and select Paste. This moves the folder to the root of your hard drive.
Step 4: Add FFmpeg to your system path
Open the system environment variables control panel. Here's how:
Press Windows key + S to open the search bar.
Type system variables into the search bar.
Click Edit the system environment variables in the search results.
This opens a window called System Properties.
Click Environment Variables at the bottom-right corner of this window.
Select Path under System variables and click Edit.
This opens a window called Edit environment variable.
Click New at the top-right corner of this window.
Type C:\\FFmpeg\\bin into this field and press Enter.
This adds FFmpeg's bin folder to your system path so you can run it from any command prompt window.
Click OK on all open windows to save your changes and close them.
Congratulations!
