What is the recommended solution? ffmpeg doesn't have the concept of plugins, so there's only a defined set of codecs/filters/formats a compiled library can support. If this packaging is anything like in Debian/Ubuntu, those packages are either/or. Either you install the one with e.g. "fewer" codecs, or the one with "more".
