Prebuilt static ffmpeg core for usage in apps

ffmpeg-build-script

This repo builds lightweight static binaries of ffmpeg and ffprobe with core functionality only using GitHub Actions. It builds when a tag is created, by pulling down the official source for that tag and compiling them on a Mac OS build runner. It is used in LosslessCut for Mac App Store and therefore is built with --disable-securetransport to prevent the private API usage that is forbidden by Apple in the App Store. For more info see (this blog post)[https://blog.mifi.no/2020/03/31/automated-electron-build-with-release-to-mac-app-store-microsoft-store-snapcraft/]

Release

• Tag new version, for example git tag -m '' -a 6.0-1
• git push --follow-tags
• Wait for GitHub actions to finish
• Release the auto-created draft
