Try this in Cmd: where ffmpeg.exe

Also, sub-directories are not part of the directory defined in PATH.

Also, in Cmd: path to show your path env (or set path)

Sorry I have no idea what you mean, when I do where ffmpeg.exe in D:\yt I get INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s). and when I do it in D:\yt\ffmpeg\bin I get D:\yt\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe

ffmpeg.exe must be located in the same directory with youtube-dl.exe or in any directory from %PATH%.
