for
Windows.
I pulled the versions from the ffmpeg static build pages linked from the official ffmpeg site. Namely:
NB: Open to pull requests to update this module with the latest versions.
Ideally I'd like to dynamically pull the latest version down, but this requires

files.
And I couldn't find a good js-only decoders for these files either.
So, for now it's just embedded binaries.
