Safe to delete this broken, unneeded functional duplicate of Arch/extra/ffmpeg. @eggz has confessed the true intent of creating this package (in 2020) - that he was experiencing issues with the repo ffmpeg on his non-NVIDIA setup. [a] It is evidence of defiance of AUR submission guidelines that say no duplicate submission on AUR for bugs in repo packages. May I remark that I feel vindicated in the face of my last rejected deletion request for this package, even though it was still broken at the time and its duplication intent was obvious.
