Package Request: ffmpeg

[reyqn]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

ffmpeg is a very useful tool, it would be nice to be able to install it via winget.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

ffmpeg does not however release official builds. The builds available here seem to be endorsed on the ffmpeg website, but maybe that's a security issue?

[LightDestory]

Windows build of ffmpeg are provided as a .zip format but right now, using as reference Manifest Spec, winget don't support it.
We must wait for further development :)

[masx200]

I support it!

[Witchilich]

Hope they add all 4 versions (stable/git - static/shared).

microsoft/winget-cli#140

[wikicrafter]

Windows build of ffmpeg are provided as a .zip format but right now, using as reference Manifest Spec, winget don't support it.
We must wait for further development :)

but there is also alternative package managers like: chocolatey.org

choco install ffmpeg

https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?s=e8350c0f7481e5bed58a88f36e7c6abd&p=2338654&postcount=1#:~:text=ffmpeg.zeranoe.com%20will%20close%20on%20sep%2018%2C%202020%2C%20and%20all%20builds%20will%20be%20removed states that the quoted compilation of ffmpeg has been discontinued.

Consequently, I suggest that somebody assist remediation of BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds#135 to hopefully allow this proposition to succeed without relying upon microsoft/winget-cli#140 to ultimately generate an inferior installer.

For Windows, an alternative build source I've been using for a long time has been Gyan's builds, https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
