How to extend the functionality of myFFmpeg with FFmpeg
To extend the functionality of myFFmpeg so that you can also edit/convert media files, you need an FFmpeg file.
You can compile FFmpeg yourself. There are several tutorials or scripts available online. You can also download ready compiled versions or use Chocolatey to compile your own version. Once you have a working FFmpeg file, you can install it for myFFmpeg in two ways. The first method is to drag the FFmpeg file into the myFFmpeg window. A second method is by using the FFmpeg Manager (preferences).
Click on the + sign in the lower left corner. Then choose which version. The best choice is Static FFmpeg. If you have compiled FFmpeg with Chocolatey, choose the corresponding button.
