ohh..im so sorry.silly me!! i didnt notice that what i typed at the end was infact displayed. Just to be sure can u please clear out my doubt whether the last step was indeed make.

One more thing, how will i get to execute ffmpeg for conversions? most of the codes i came across through have used something like “c:/ffmpeg.exe” how will i knw the path to mine,since i don’t find it in my drive..

A quick reply will be very appreciated.

Hello sir, i was looking at how you did to install ffmpeg. it goes fine until the last point.

$ gcc -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields -Wall -g -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSE
T_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o common.o common.c
gcc.exe: common.c: No such file or directory
gcc.exe: no input files

when i type the above code it cannot find gcc and i have tested gcc in command prompt.it is there.Can you please clear out my doubts.I am very new to programming.Have been tryng real hard to get ffmpeg installed since 24 hours already…
Thank you!
