INSTALLATION NOTES: For most situations, the .exe download is suggested. It is a self contained installer that will leave FFmpeg available for Audacity.
If you have a special setup, or the .exe does not work for you, it is suggested that you download the .ZIP version.
Inside the .ZIP, once downloaded, you will find MANY files. You need to copy ALL of them to a well known folder in your computer, for example, create ffmpeg64bit under your Documents library. Finally, open Audacity, go to Library Preferences, and indicate the location of that well known folder where the FFmpeg libraries reside.
