libmagic on windows
See original GitHub issueSince ffmpeg does not run on Windows Ubuntu (due to subprocesses failing), I tried to run it on bare Windows.
libmagic on windows is difficult to install, and it’s absence causes video conversion to fail. e.g.:
FrameSamplingConverter().transform(video)
I found a project to compile libmagic dll’s from scratch: https://github.com/nscaife/file-windows
Carefully running the build script line by line (to catch errors that require installing further dependencies, such as autoconf) resulted in the desired dlls.
@tyarkoni to test that these dlls work I need you to copy them from C:/Users/aid338/file_windows64 to C:/Windows/System32

I did that actually, just still takes a while. But looks like it worked and didnt’ crash anything in Windows!
Update: tried various codecs (mpeg1, mpeg2, h264 w/o b-frames), and all resulted in similar, if worse performance. I think without dropping the resolution this will stay about the same.
