Below this line, please describe what caused this error.

Literally downloading any video causes this error. Version 2.4.2

i see what's going on. it's trying to find an FFmpeg install when none exists. there are two things you can do to fix this:

Install FFmpeg -- you don't even need to use it for anything, but it'll get rid of this error. it's an odd error though lol
Update to a nightly/dev build -- the nightly build apparently does more checks that avoid this error. you can enable this in the settings and manually check for an update, or you can just download the latest dev build and install it

let me know if you try either of these, and if they work! will close the issue for now -- if it still persists, i'll reopen
