Even 1 or 2 years ago I was trying to get the audacity extension or whatever you need and I remember landing on the sourceforge site and thinking, "Seriously!?! sourceforge is dead and taken over! Why on sourceforge?"
Unsure why they haven't moved it somewhere a bit more modern.

no idea, I know there was noise about licenses etc which stopped some moving to github (and that was way before ms came into the picture)
and it's still the official site, always rather that then some scammy free downloads site?
(Would you prefer cnet?)
At least you can be sure sourceforge downloads still are truly clean - as compared most other 'free & safe' download sites there's not going to be injected ads/loggers/trojans etc or need to sign up to a junk mailing list.

CNET is a weird one. It's still a "legitimate" business with a print magazine but the downloads site would make you think it is something else. It's not great.

On the same page, at the top, if you check this link[^]
It says the binary contains Trojan.Win32.Hesv!O detected by CMC AV.

There is also a zip with only lame_enc.dll, maybe this is malware free
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Need to feed this to my AV(Anti-virus) box & test.

I checked it on https://www.virustotal.com[^] and tested it. For me it looks fine. But of course no warranty

OK, not my screenshot, and I won't install it for the sake of trying it out, but I understand your pain now. I hope you got it sorted out.

I'm old fashioned in many respects, and I like my old Minolta Dimage A200 camera.
OK, it doesn't have WiFi, it never heard of Farcebok, and it's only 8MP - but it's got a good lens, and it's a Minolta and I understand them (Used them in the very old "Film" days before I bought a pocket-sized Fuji digital).
But ... it's Compact Flash, and my card reader failed, so I can't access the pictures.
So I bought a cable for £2 from FleaBay. And added an XP VM To Virtualbox. Plug the cable in, turn on the camera and ... it recognised it, installed it as an HDD and gives me the pictures. Win 10? Nah ... don't be silly ... 
Quick - Snapshot that bugger, Griff!
Yay! I can flog that cheap vacuum sealer I bought to tide me over on FleaBay!

I still run XP on a couple of machines at home. One has a scanner attached that didn't work on Windows 7 but was otherwise amazing - 48 bit, scan film negatives wonderfully with built-in scratch repair (that actually worked) and fast!
The other is used as a backup, backup file server and extra wide-format, Canon inkjet printer server. I have a large pile of cartridges for the printer and a giant roll of paper (actually called "butcher's paper" but it take inkjet printing beautifully) that I have fixed up that lets me print nice looking maps, castle layouts and metres long, 18" wide strips of hexes - good for RPG and big war games like Star Fleet Battles.
Neither are connected to the interweb, haven't been updated since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and still work perfectly well, every time!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Now I've finished transferring the pictures, I shut down the VM, turn off the camera, unplug it all.
Then I thought - what about Video?
So I turned the camera on, plugged in the cable, and reached for the VM. But before I got there, a USB drive appeared in "My Computer" and it's the camere files ... 
I think I scared Win10 into submission ...

XP was incredible OS, I kept it until the bitter end. Reliable, dependable, kinda like a faithful old dog!
Windows 7 has been a good OS as well but if they would have kept supporting it I probably would have stayed with it.

It's still under support.
But then, given that one of this month's patches breaks network shares, I wish they stopped "supporting" it.

I still have an XP VM I fire up every once in a while. If known exploits were still being patched, I'd probably use it more often. But knowing that it's got known problems, I'm doing a lot less with it than I would otherwise.

Ditto I also have a XP VM, haven't fired it up in quite a while. I have Visual Studio 6 on it that I used to develop on but that' been a few years now.

why would you install win updates in 7?
they are not adding anything new and in fact admitted they are taking stuff out.
they've also admitted even fixing broken stuff is off the table unless it's really really severe.
there is nothing anyone needs in w7 updates - read the release notes - THERE REALLY IS NOTHING.
if you're on w7 you should really have turned off updates a year ago (if not before.)
Do that and it'll last another 10 years.
(If you don't disable updates ms will break it, I'm not dissing ms here, they've actually admitted that this is their intention.)

I do.
I'm not looking for new features in updates. I'm only installing them to get documented exploits fixed.

hah! I was using the 64 bit version of XP (so I could use all of my massive 4 MB) until maybe 5 years back when dragged into win7 (for some work I needed to do in .net4.5).
actually don't really miss it.
win10 - nah. gone linux. for the odd occasion I need winduds I vm it.
btw: gone are the old days of linux farting about with obscure shell commands to get the video or/and sound or/and wireless kb or/and wifi or/and .... working
- linux is install and go (ubuntu, mint to name the easiest) and in fact can configure a full working linux system much faster than w7/w10 and then even drive swap it into a different machine and just switch it on and it still goes.

Yeah I don't do WinDud either and like you I"m migrating to Linux...Debian/Ubuntu/Raspian are my choices, depending on platform.

Just because they stopped "supporting" it doesn't mean it's not still usable.
I'll be using Win7 (in a VM) for the rest of my days.
