Hello,
After updating Audacity to version 3.0.3, I got an error message as on attached screenshot.
Copied into the plugins folder:

  1. avcodec-55.dll
  2. avformat-55.dll
  3. lame_enc.dll
    Re-started the program, no error issued.
    Loaded a mp3 file - OK.
    Loaded a mp4 file (which was OK in previous version), got another error message
    Please see attached screenshots combined into one image.
    Answers will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

If you installed 64-bit Audacity, you will need to replace your 32-bit FFmpeg for Audacity with the 64-bit version.
Installation instructions for FFmpeg remain the same other than downloading the new 64-bit version rather than the old 32-bit version: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_ffmpeg_for_windows.html

You actually don’t need to “replace2” you can have 64-bit and 320bit FFmpeg libraries on the same computer - useful if you want to run older 32-bit Audacities as well as the new 64-bit 3.0.3
