Required Programs
- VLC Media Player - required for playback of just about any kind of video content you can imagine
- 7-zip - you will need this to extract the contents of the FFmpeg files, which are stored as a 7z archive. Mac OSX will use Keka
- FFmpeg - the ultimate Swiss Army Knife multitool of multimedia encoding/decoding
Installation
- VLC installs are straight forward. Run the installer and you're done.
- FFmpeg is a bit more complicated, and it depends on your platform.
Windows
- Run the VLC installer
- Install 7-zip
- Extract the contents of the FFmpeg zip file into a suitable directory. I going to use C:\Local\ffmpeg\ as my FFmpeg installation location for this example. You should see something similar to this:
