This is likely obvious to many here, and definitely to those who wrote at bit of text, but it could be more clear. In reality Audacity needs more than that. I assumed this meant it only needed some function contained within that dll. Long answer: Why was I silly enough to believe I didn’t need everything and only unzip avformat-55.dll?

Short answer, you can either use the exe like the above post mentions, or just unzip the entire application because you actually need everything. So for anyone who stumbles on this later, here ya’ go: Like with many problems it’s a bit more obvious in hindsight. I can’t for the life of me figure out what I might be doing wrong.
