So since the grep output is empty, Audacity isn't actually linking to FFmpeg when you compile it. Perhaps you want to set AVCODEC_CFLAGS, AVCODEC_LIBS, AVFORMAT_CFLAGS, AVFORMAT_LIBS, AVUTIL_CFLAGS, and AVUTIL_LIBS via configure. Of course you may still come up against the same problem (whatever it ...

Repeat doesn't add dead space. Just drag-select over your spoken words without selecting any space around them, then Effect > Repeat that selection.

Suppose you copy a file on your Desktop then navigate in Computer to UsersOwnerAppDataRoamingAudacityAutoSave. Right-click in empty space, then choose Paste. Do you get the same error? If you see the error, can you paste that file anywhere else in C:? Do you have any other drives than C:, or an exte...

I have a few files that I will try and export to mp3 format very quickly that way if it crashes again, I will still have those files LOL, and I will take your advice and download 2.0.3 right after. If you want to work on those files again, please export as WAV, not MP3. This is because you lose qua...

1.3 Beta is obsolete. Since you don't give the three-digit version number at Help > About Audacity, it could even pre-date Windows 7. Here is the current 2.0.3 version http://audacityteam.org/download/windows . In Audacity, click Transport > Software Playthrough and click it so that it is off "...

I tried following your instructions at http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#maclame_zip I followed the directions until the last step, ie, I clicked Audacity>Preferences and then chose "Libraries" on the left; I clicked "Locate…" under "MP...

Unless you actually cannot write there (for example, because the drive is failing or because a space quota has been set on the drive) It's likely to be a randomly occurring bug which we don't yet have a fix for. If you have unsaved changes, try File > Save Project to your Desktop, though sometimes y...

After recording completes, File > Save Project, then you are not relying on temp files being retained in a crash or power loss situation. Better, export a WAV file of the recording. If there are forced reboots of the computer, see here for some help: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_errors.h...

What do these commands output?
Have you had this trouble before with Audacity recognising FFmpeg?

Glad it was solved and yes, 1.3.x and later all store their settings in the same audacity.cfg file. But 100 ms is the default audio to buffer and it's expected to start failing on Windows below about 30 - 40 ms. I was assuming you had it on the default 100 ms and needed to put it up to about 200 ms....
