FFmpeg to PATH Installer
A downloadable tool for Windows
What it does
- It downloads FFmpeg from https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
- It extracts to C:\ffmpeg
- It adds C:\ffmpeg\bin to Windows PATH
- It makes FFmpeg available system-wide
This allows my 'ElevenLabs Batch Transcriber' and many other applications to use FFmpeg without bundling it. Source code is included with the download.
Saves a lot of hard drive space and makes for smaller downloads, yay.

Explanation
A lot of programs, python scripts and such that deal with audio files or video files often need 'FFmpeg' to edit the files and do cool automations with them.
FFmpeg itself is a collection of code packed into a compiled program that does the hard work behind the scenes for many of such programs that work with audio/video files. On the Windows Personal Computer Operating System, FFmpeg can be installed to what is called an 'Windows PATH environment variable', which will give access to programs to use FFmpeg easily so that they will actually work.
A lot of my own programs use FFmpeg if they deal with audio or video files. The problem is that trying to bundle FFmpeg with my programs causes them to balloon to 100MB or more in filesize, taking up space and making the program slower and more bothersome to compile into an exe. So instead, I made this:
A simple GUI application that automatically installs FFmpeg to Windows PATH for easy access by other applications.

Install instructions
Unzip, run the .exe file.
Its a python app, so it may take a minute to load. If you have python installed, you can run the py file in the "src" folder instead too.
