ffmpeg link and installation is broken

Bug description

ffmpeg link and installation isn't working anymore. The link is dead

Operating System

Windows 10

Camera_control version

camera36, commit: c82b021823d8a45a988ddd5e9b50cc027e480dbe (nov 19 2022, latest as of now)

Steps To Reproduce

When following the github installation steps from the readme in the main directory: https://github.com/AdaptiveMotorControlLab/Camera_Control Once running install1 as administrator, ffmpeg is not downloaded/installed, because the link is broken.

Relevant log output

None

Anything else?

I have found another workable link for it: https://archive.org/download/zeranoe/win64/static/ffmpeg-20190730-a0c1970-win64-static.zip However I didn't mange to set it up correctly in the install1 file.

My workaround was to:

  • download it manually
  • unzip it manually
  • Take its content (bin, doc, presets, LICENSE, README)
  • Move them manually into: C:\Program Files\ffmpeg
  • commenting the download zip,unzipping and moving files from the install1 file.
  • Running install1

To do / To debug:

Make the above working directly from the link inside the install1 file..

Update: I found and updated the paths and the way ffmpeg gets installed in the right folder. Will make a PR for the changes.
