    I tried copying the last Zeranoe ffmpeg build for XP (version: 20160227-git-5156578) into my Windows folder, but Light just uses the Flashplayer NPAPI plugin to play the video and there does not appear to be a setting that could enable ffmpeg as an alternative player. In the Extra folder I found the file mozffmpeg-3.0.2.7z highlighted in red with an exclamation mark next to it. When I try to download the file I am directed to a download page with the message 'This file may contain malware and the automatic download has been disabled'. I obtained the file from this mirror: http://sourceforge.mirrorservice.org/l/li/lightfirefox/Extra/ and F-PROT has shown it to be clean. Now I do not know what to do with it because there are no instructions supplied with it. There four files - mozavcodec.dll, mozavutil.dll, configure.config and 0001-change.patch. Where do they go?

    They go into the root dir where light.exe is.
