I can also drill a hole in my knee

nobody right in his mind is running sofwtare with admin permissions,
especially not video encoding software and nobody right in his mind
gives his ordinary user write permsisions to binaries

if you want to do so adjust the permissions and why you don't have
permissions on that folder especially when you are using Windows is your
problem and not one of ffmpeg

20 years ago i managed to adjust my path as needed and learn how to deal
with permissions on Win2000 weeks after buy my first PC
