Files are in the right folder (I think) Those were the wrong English words. You don't install FFMpeg, you run the installer and it installs FFMpeg. Did you get a Disk Image file (.dmg). I think the worst thing to happen is the Mac will object to opening a "foreign ...

Am using Mac OS Sierra Version 10.12.6
Am using Audacity 2.3.0

I have followed all the steps for installing FFMpeg but it simply will not work. Files are in the right folder (I think) and will still not work. Can anyone help?

Thank you.

... memory that's the QuickTime or "Movie" format or header tag. This could be messy. M4A support doesn't come from Audacity. M4A comes from FFMpeg third party software. That and it's a compressed format, so it's not a simple matter of lining up the bits based on probability. We need to wait ...

... created with the special capture software will be in a compressed format, so it may not be the best quality and you'll probably need the optional FFmpeg Import/Export library to decompress & open the audio in Audacity. I assume you have a turntable with a line-output, or a stereo system with ...

... me really was that Quicktime is not supported anymore in 2.3.0, is that correct? Basically as far as I know, yes. I think that in the absence of FFmpeg Mac tries to be "helpful" and use QuickTime - and that no longer works Which leads to the unhelpful error message reported in this ...

... deprecated by Apple when they launched Sierra, and has been discontinued in xcode (the application for building software for macos). Shouldn't an FFMPEG error be shown instead then? I suspect you're right, though I've not seen any definitive information about this. The current error message is ...

... Silly me :lol: So the problem for me really was that Quicktime is not supported anymore in 2.3.0, is that correct? Ok it turns out I had 32bit FFMPEG 2.2.2 also installed. Audacity 2.3.0 doesn't import with FFMPEG, says Quicktime not supported. Audacity 2.2.2 imports with Quicktime. I don't ...

Same problem here with AAC, 2.3.0 and Mojave. Was not a problem before with 2.2.2 FFMpeg was installed. Reinstalled the libraries but no change. Edit: the only thing that is weird is that the FFMPEG library 2.2.2 contains ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylib, ffmpeg_utils.52.64bit.dylib ...

[url]I'm running last version sur IMac, Os 10.14,3 Mojave, Everithing is Ok with Audacity, I do have difficulties with Lame/ FFmpeg for Audacity and plug-ins and libraries such as those needed for MP3 Encoding. The OS 10.14 System bloks me, and I can't change the permissions to set up ...

the 64-bit FFmpeg libraries are only for the upcoming 2.3.1 (and subsequent releases) as this will be the first 64-bit build of Audacity for Mac. For 2.3.0 you will need the 32-bit version which you should find lower down the page ...
