You need to know where your ffmpeg binary is and then enter it at admin/settings/ffmpeg_wrapper

An easy way to find out is to log into your server and type "whereis ffmpeg"

I'm not quite sure if you're asking for the ffmpeg binary for windows- if so, I don't use windows, so I'm not of much help, however, http://ffmpeg.org/index.html maybe of use to you and you can also just search for a windows binary.

The path for ffmpeg is configured in admin/settings/ffmpeg_wrapper

Hi-

I don't run windows, but searching for "windows ffmpeg binary" yields many results.

I'm having trouble with the video module, ffmpeg wrapper locates the binary at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and when I type that location into the video module setup I get the error
Please specify correct executable path to Transcoder.
Will the ffmpeg wrapper help me use the video module?
Has anyone run into this before?

@webmayin - is your ffmpeg binary executable by the webserver? Check your php error log to see if have issues with open base dir.

My gallery2 installation uses ffmpeg in the same location, /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
I'm using the transcode module from flashyourweb.com and it runs fine. It seems like drupal can't access that system path. Do you know why that might be?
