Audacity Not Recognizing FFMepg Lib.

Post by SteveBC » Sat Jul 17, 2010 5:58 pm

I tried installing the FFMepg Libraries to the automatic location as per standard installation which is usr/lib/audacity/ffmpeg libraries. The install wizard said the installation was successful. When I opened Audacity, It said the FFMpeg file "libavformat.52.dylib I'm installing the the FFMpeg for Snow Leopard 10.06.

I went th discussion board where it suggested that the tthe installation directory to the application/Audacity Folder. I could actually see the file below in the folder. However , when I pointed for the Browse in Audacity's preferences, It still said the below lib file /Applications/Audacity/audacity/libavformat.52.dylib

YI am still new to Mac especially when it ti making changes in the system Library. For this reason I elected out of building the FFMpeg File Libary as described on the Alternative Installation page. Would some please help me out with this or some suggestions.

Regards,
Steve C.

As it says in the Manual, the FFmpeg libraries will be installed in /usr/local/lib/audacity. That is where you need to install to and browse to.
