Why is ffmpeg not found when called via python?

Question

Python

When accessed this way: Returns: "ffmpeg" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. If you just write through the console (In the same directory) - ffmpeg -i audio.ogg audio.wav Then everything works fine. What is the problem?

os.system("ffmpeg -i audio.ogg audio.wav")

Answer 1

Because there is no ffmpeg command in ENV, you need to either write the full path to the file or move all files to one folder☝️

Answer 2

Moved all ffmpeg files - to the project folder - everything worked.
