Then, download/compile ffmpeg for your system. By default, VidGraph looks for a local copy at ./ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe. You may change this to your preference of folder within the grapher.py script, or comment out this line if you have it included in your system's PATH variable (e.g. is available via the ffmpeg command in your terminal).
