Install de required codecs.

You could install the combined community codec pack. It will install all required codecs. http://www.cccp-project.net/

But since this pack is a bit outdated you might want to install a more recent codec pack. But it will still solve your problem.

You could also just directly download ffmpeg from here: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

I installed FFmpeg and everything worked. This PR is not a cry for help :).
