If you try to use the video dumper without a compatible install of FFmpeg, you will receive an error message indicating so with the version of FFmpeg you need to install. This guide will walk you through installing a compatible FFmpeg to enable using the video dumper feature.
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Windows builds of FFmpeg can be found linked from the official FFmpeg website.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Choose a build that matches the version indicated to you by Citra; for example, if Citra tells you to use a version from the "n6.0..." series, download FFmpeg 6.0.
|
||||
* Make sure to download the release archive with ```shared``` in the name to get all the files you need for Citra.
|
||||
2. Once you have downloaded FFmpeg, extract it somewhere.
|
||||
3. Inside the extracted directory, head to the ```bin``` directory and copy all of the ```.dll``` files you see into your Citra install directory.
|
||||
|
||||
After completing this process, you should be able to use the Citra video dumper.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** If you use a Windows package manager like ```winget```, there are likely packages available that you can use instead to install FFmpeg.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other OSes
|
||||
|
||||
Other operating systems have package managers that allow you to easily install a compatible FFmpeg.
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
Use Homebrew: ```brew install ffmpeg```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the Flatpak, you should not need to install FFmpeg as it is part of the runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the AppImage, you can install a compatible version, FFmpeg 4, as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* Ubuntu: ```sudo apt install ffmpeg```
|
||||
* Arch Linux: ```sudo pacman -S ffmpeg4.4```
|
||||
* Fedora: ```sudo dnf install compat-ffmpeg4```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if your distro version uses the wrong version of FFmpeg for Citra, it will still fail to load. In that case you must find a compatible version of FFmpeg built for your distro, or you can build Citra from source to use the version of FFmpeg you have installed.
