Re: [Audacity-devel] FFmpeg on Windows

[Martyn S. <mar...@go...>]

Hi Leland

I was wondering about that as well, followed your instructions and can 
now load wmv files.  I dropped the avformat.dll into 'modules'.

I note that audacity loads and unloads lots of dlls of late, including 
ones from OpenOffice and C:\WINDOWS\system32\, is that normal?
