Quick post to note a very handy resource for FFmpeg: ffmprovisr...
FFmpeg is a powerful tool for manipulating audiovisual files. Unfortunately, it also has a steep learning curve, especially for users unfamiliar with a command line interface. This app helps users through the command generation process so that more people can reap the benefits of FFmpeg.

Thanks.
For someone like me, who has been struggling with the syntax over and over again, this looks very promising and might save me a ton of googling for ready-made solutions that never quite fit my purpose.

I have found on GitHub the repository "FFmpeg-Builds" for FFmpeg Static Auto-Builds.
Latest build is of 2023-10-02 - 12:50) (6 hours ago)
details:
• GitHub "FFmpeg Builds": https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds
• GitHub repository download page: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/r ... tag/latest
--> I have downloaded 'ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl-shared' https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/r ... shared.zip
and estracted the content of 'bin' subfolder.

My program 'yt-dlp-gui' works well.

FFmpeg stable is currently on v6.1.1 released 2023-12-31 (changelog at https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/shortlog/n6.1.1).

Plus a quick note for yet another Github FFmpeg autobuild repo.
Automated stable nonfree builds of FFmpeg for Windows using GitHub Actions.

Nonfree in this context means that the above binaries include the "Fraunhofer FDK AAC (libfdk_aac) & DeckLink"...

FYI, Anim Mouse publishes a rather extensive list of FFmpeg builds in his site:
