    RE: avconv and ffmpeg

    I need to merge audio and video files.

    What versions of these will run on Win XP ?

    Links would be helpful.

    Thanks.

    April 20th, 2018, FFmpeg 4.0 "Wu"

    FFmpeg 4.0 "Wu", a new major release, is now available!
    Some of the highlights:

    Dropped support for building for Windows XP.
    The minimum supported Windows version is Windows Vista.

    That means something in the 3.x would work.

    For example, 3.4.2 , Windows 32 , Static

    FFMpeg: Downloaded and installed 3.3.1 last XP version I found.

    Had ff-prompt.bat which adds the .Bin\ffmpeg.exe to the system path.

    Your first Link says Win 7 forward but no version number.

    The second link has 3.4.2.

    Now to try it out, then your 3.4.2.

    Thanks.

    I tried to shave the date to as close to the release of 4.x
    as I could get. The 3.4.2 would be reasonably close to the last
    version of 3.x.x. It's a good thing the zeranoe site allowed
    archive.org to take snapshots.

    This guy** keeps them up to date. When you asked I went to the
    site and noticed he built some new versions in April.

    http://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/

    I'm still using the ones from December 2018 (which are
    malware-free).
    They work fine.
    If you do download the new ones, check them out with
    Virustotal. And give us feedback as to any bugs. I prefer to
    quarantine third party builds for a month or so.
    TIA

    ** He's a regular poster in the ffmpeg forums.

    PS He has curl binaries too
