I am trying to install FFmpeg in Windows 11 and I did as suggested in this post:

How to install FFmpeg on Windows 10

MODERATOR NOTE: for installing FFmpeg on Linux see this post, https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2188963 for installing on MacOS see this post https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2189605 Video object and video processing functions were introduced in Wolfram Language 12.1.

The location of the FFmpeg shared gpl version for Windows is indicated in the PATH variable:

C:\Users\Dmitry\FFmpeg\bin\

I tried other variants, restarted Mathematica, restarted the computer, but Mathematica 13.0.1.0 does not recognize this installation and uses the bundled version of video decoders.

Actually, I don’t need any augmented functionality, I just need to export a video in one of the available formats. However, this video is big (about 1 GB frames in the *.m format saved on disk) and I am getting a Memory Exception after about one hour of number crunching. And the computer has 32 GB RAM!

Also, attempts of the suggested automatic installation of FFmpeg end with an error message.
