Updating the Ffmpeg export library

[Robert2]

A more recent version of the Ffmpeg export library is available than “avformat-52.dll” (actually “avformat-54.dll”). Audacity 2.0.0 RC1 won’t accept the more recent version. Is there any way to force Audacity to accept any “avformat-x.dll”?

You can obtain the latest supported FFmpeg 0.6.2 F(52.64.2),C(52.72.2),U(50.15.1) here:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.ph ... Ins#ffdown

You can use a later FFmpeg.exe for Audacity command-line export:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Expo ... al_Program

using builds from:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ .

DLL files from those later builds will not work in the Audacity "Libraries" preferences.

If you obtain the shared builds you must have all the DLL files present in the same folder as ffmpeg.exe.
