# VideoElement2

This control uses FFMPEG as render component and can therefore render many codecs found in virtualy any video. 

## Setup

For this to work, you need to do the following steps once:

1. Download version 4.x of FFMPEG shared libraries from [Github](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases?q=\&expanded=true).\

2. Extract only the `bin` folder to a location on your disk, e.g. c:\ffmpeg
3. In ScreensPro Server enter the path in File - Settings - RenderManager - FfmpegPath:<br>
