![]() ** I just noticed that on all three successful installs that I have, “Audacity > Preferences: Libraries: FFmpeg Library: Locate …” Audacity has automatically detected valid FFmpeg libraries." However on the Windows 10 Home computer with the defective install, “Audacity > Preferences: Libraries: FFmpeg Library: Locate …” points to “C:\Program Files (x86)\FFmpeg for Audacity\avdevices-55.dll”. (Please excuse: I’m writing this from memory, because I do not have her computer in front of me.) However, when she tried to read or import a *.MOV file, she got an error message saying she needed to have “C:\Program Files (x86)\FFmpeg for Audacity\avdevices-55.dll” and Audacity couldn’t find it, even thought it was on that computer AND Edit > Preferences: Libraries > “FFmpeg Library: Locate” = the location on my hard drive of avdevices-55.dll, which it said it needed. She downloaded and ran ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe from, I think, “ ”. I believe she followed the procedure on “ ”. I successfully installed FFmpeg 2.2.2 under Windows 7 and 10 plus macOS 10.14.6, but a friend tried to follow apparently the same procedure on Windows 10, and was unable to “open” or “import” a *.MOV file. This gave me, “A debugging check in this application has failed.”Ĭan you suggest a debug procedure to follow with a defective install, especially of FFmpeg 2.2.2 for Audacity 2.3.2 under Windows 10? I entered that name and selected it and said, “OK”. The extract folder did not contain that but instead contained “lame_enc.dll”. I then got, “Audacity needs the file ‘avformat-55.dll’”. ![]() The instructions then said to open Audacity Library Preferences and FFmpeg Library “Locate”. Move that into a desired permanent location and unzip it by : “Extract All…”, confirm that the target directory is appropriate, and click “Extract”.

When I try to File > Open a *.MOV file, both say, “Audacity did not recognize the type of file ‘…MOV’. I’m not a tech wizard but I just don’t understand why it won’t locate the library.
