Pardon me if this question is stale. (I searched for "ffmpeg" and there were only 10 entries and none applied.)
I can't download because Windows is not connected to the Internet, but I already have ffmpeg, ffprobe, and MPV. Where does SE expect them to be? I have already copied them to 'c:\Program Files\Subtitle Edit\' and to 'c:\Program Files\Subtitle Edit\ffmpeg\' and to 'c:\Program Files\Subtitle Edit\MPV\' but that didn't work.
Thanks a bunch,
Mark.

Is your Subtitle Edit using ffmpeg, ffprobe, and MPV? Were they downloaded during installation? Where were they installed?
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
FFmpeg: Under [Settings]>'Waveform/specragram', there's a button: [Download FFmpeg], and a text box: 'Path to FFmeg'. Is waveform all that FFmpeg is used for?
FFprobe: Nothing.
MPV: Under [Settings]>'Video player' there's a button: [Download mpv lib], but that's all. Windows has no access to the Internet -- access is only through a Linux virtual machine.
Oh, dear -- Mark. -
You didn't give any clue but what are you expecting SE to do with FFmpeg?
Just point it to it's location - you may be right about being just for the waveform.
SE doesn't use FFprobe, if you need it at all, run it from the command prompt outside of SE.
Loading MPV is not imperative; it falls back to Window directshow codecs and it's own internal player -
Having not used FFmpeg with SE, I didn't know what SE would do with it, eh?

I changed the player from MPV to VLC. I don't know how SE is finding VLC, but it's playing now. The audio waveform works! Gee, it's nice. I'll fiddle with SE for a while longer to figure out how to use the waveform efficiently.
Thanks a lot. -

Now I remember.
I'm pretty sure that FFmpeg is used by the [Tools]>[Beautify time codes...] menu function that automatically adjusts the subtitle times to the exact frame time-stamps. FFmpeg can read those time-stamps. I assume that having perfect alignment will help with some players. -
"ffmpeg.exe" and "ffprobe.exe" should exist in: "SE-data-folder"\ffmpeg
"libmpv-2.dll" should exist in the "SE-data-folder".
You can open the "SE-data-folder" by pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D" in the SE main window.
Downloads are from:
ffmpeg: Essentials package form https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
libmpv: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/
