problem importing stems.

Post by bethy1234 » Wed Jan 24, 2018 11:25 pm

Hi guys

I and trying to import a stem that i got from beatport into Audacity 2.2.1. i have d/led https://lame.buanzo.org/Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe and I have the correct library installed (libavformat.55.dylib). i can see this dylib when i click the "ffpmeg" Locate button.
Above that button it says "ffmpeg library version:ffmpeg libary not installed)

The next buttondow "ffmpeg libary" weblink just takes me straight back to the webpage download page.

My question is can you please tell me why i recieve the message "ffmpeg library version:ffmpeg libary not installed)", when i can see that Audacity library is correctly pointing at it?

Thank you very much

Andy

That's the Mac version of FFmpeg. It wont work on Windows.
