## 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.
1. Click [here](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-full-shared.7z) to download a compatible release of FFmpeg. Then extract the file you downloaded.
2. Inside the extracted directory, open 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

Use Homebrew: ```brew install ffmpeg```
macOS builds are currently compiled against FFmpeg 6.0 headers. If the latest version in Homebrew is not compatible please open an issue with us and we can update.
### 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:
The AppImage builds are currently built against FFmpeg 4.2, as comes with Ubuntu 20.04. You can install a compatible version with one of the following commands, depending on your distro:
* Ubuntu: ```sudo apt install ffmpeg```
* Ubuntu 20.04: ```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.
Note that if your distro does not provide a compatible version, you must find a suitable build elsewhere. You can also build Citra from source to use the version of FFmpeg you have installed.
