The in-app Windows FFmpeg bootstrap (installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%/VideoTools/bin) has not been validated on a machine with no FFmpeg in PATH.

Validation steps:

Run VideoTools on a clean Windows install with no FFmpeg present
Confirm bootstrap prompt appears and installs successfully
Confirm modules unlock without app restart
Confirm FFprobe resolves to app-local install on next launch

No-cost option: Windows Sandbox (built into Windows 10/11 Pro) provides a throwaway clean environment.
