ffmpeg 5 is not supported. Only ffmpeg 4.3 will work.

Okay, thanks!

I found the cargo packages ffmpeg-next and ffmpeg-sys-next that support ffmpeg 5, but at some point it might be best to rewrite ffmpeg in rust completely... I assume this is just too daunting of a task and that's why it hasn't happened yet.
