[FFmpeg-user] Problems with ffmpeg on Windows 10
Hello: I could use your help with three problems: IMMEDIATE BLOCK: I downloaded wzdu53.exe to a Windows 10 machine. However, when I double-click on it, a little circle goes around for a fraction of a second and then stops. What do you suggest I try to get past this? WHY DO I CARE ABOUT wzdu53.exe? I'm trying to upgrade ffmpeg, and the standard instructions tells me to install wzdu53.exe and let it do the update. WHY DO I NEED TO UPDATE ffmpeg? I was running "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.WebM", which I've done successfully on this same computer in the past. This time, it progressed to frame 15922 and then stopped progressing. A half hour later, I killed it.

Re: [FFmpeg-user] Licensing fees
The Wikipedia article on FFmpeg says, "License: LGPL 2.1+, GPL 2+ Unredistributable if compiled with NVIDIA Performance Primitives." That comment has a footnote saying, "FFmpeg can be configured to make it proprietary and unredistributable software, because NVIDIA Performance Primitives, an optional external library, is proprietary software and cannot be distributed under the terms of the GPL." 1. If anyone has any information that contradicts this, I want to know -- especially I want a solid, reputable source that can be cited in that Wikipedia article. 2. Otherwise, this would seem to answer the question: You should read the LGPL and GPL and perhaps consult an attorney, but I think this means that a small company can bundle their proprietary software with FFMPEG, and distribute their device without paying a license fee to FFmpeg. Of course, if the product is successful, one might expect that the small company donates to FFmpeg and may even pay some of their own people to help develop FFmpeg so it becomes a better product for everyone else in the future.

[FFmpeg-user] trouble shooting defective FFmpeg install on Windows 10?
Hello: What would you suggest I do to troubleshoot a defective install of FFmpeg for Audacity on Windows 10? A colleague installed FFmpeg for Audacity 2.2.2 on a Windows 10 computer. Edit > Preferences > Libraries > "FFmpeg Library:" = "C:\Program Files (x86)\FFmpeg for Audacity\avformat-55.dll". When we did File > Open (or Import) > [a *.MOV file], we got a message saying FFmpeg for Audacity was required. But we have it. I'm not sure, but I believe we installed it following the instructions on "https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_and_updating_audacity_on_windows.html#winff";. Thanks, Spencer Graves p.s. A week ago I installed FFmpeg for Audacity successfully for computers running Windows 7 and 10 and for macOS 10.14.6. Now I try what I think was the same procedure on a friend's Windows 10, and it fails. ___ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
