This PR aims at avoiding having to link upon ffmpeg libs as they are not easily redistributable.
Main issue arised on Ubuntu as the apt version of the 22.04 and 24.04 where incompatible, we couldn't link dynamically on the ffmpeg libs + pkg(config isn't multiplatform.
This being said I tried linking statically to it, but the number of dependencies is enormous, the resulting work was a bit too much for the future itself as a screen recorder would do the trick just fine...
So I decided to go for the old way of using the ffmpeg executable that is shipped with the binaries. This copies the Sofa.Qt way, and was made with a little help for Mistral's AI devstral 2 and opencode. It think it saved me up to half a day of work !
