This project provides a PowerShell script that automates the entire FFmpeg installation process on Windows systems. The script handles:

• Downloading: Automatically fetches the latest FFmpeg builds from the official BtbN releases.
• Extraction & Installation: Unpacks the downloaded files and installs FFmpeg.
• Environment Variable Setup: Configures the necessary PATH variables for FFmpeg.
• Reinstallation: Safely removes any existing FFmpeg installation before updating to the latest version.
• Status Feedback: Provides clear status messages during installation and verifies success.

Requirements:

• Windows 10/11
• PowerShell (run as Administrator)
• An active Internet connection

Usage:

1. Save the script as install_ffmpeg.ps1.
2. Open PowerShell as Administrator and, if necessary, bypass the execution policy:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
   

3. Run the installer script:

   .\install_ffmpeg.ps1
