You don't have a compatible version of FFmpeg installed.
If you installed FFmpeg for an older version of Audacity, it may be too old for the current version of Audacity, in which case you can uninstall it (recommended before installing a newer version).
See here for how to install FFmpeg for Audacity:

Thanks, upon further examination, it seems I had the library pointed to the wrong file.
Now it shows FFmpeg Library Version F(55.33.100),U(52.66.100). Does that look right? It is working now for both MP4 and MP3 file imports.
