I’m using the latest version of Audacity and followed the instructions on how to install FFmpeg that were on this page, but Audacity is stil saying it cannot locate the library, even when I point it to where the avformat-59.dll file is located.
I’ve tried reinstalling Audacity and FFmpeg , and I also deleted the ‘audacity’ folders I found in my AppData/Local and AppData/Roaming folders, but it is still not working properly.
Am I missing something, or is this a bug that has yet to be addressed?
Are you running the 64-bit version of Audacity? The 32-bit version needs 32-bit FFmpeg.
The 64-bit version is usually installed to Program Files\Audacity and the 32-bit version is usually installed to Program Files(x86)/Audacity. (You can have both versions installed and that can cause confusion.)
The latest version is 3.3.3 and it can be downloaded here.
Anything unusual about your Audacity installation? I assume it’s installed on your C-drive?
You can check to see if you are running the 64-bit version of Audacity: Help > About Audacity > Build Information should say 64-bits on the 3rd line: Build type: “CMake Release build (debug level 1), 64 bits”
