Comment (by alan1523):

 Only current FFmpeg git head is supported here, except for regressions and
 security issues. We try to explain this on
 https://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html - I am curious if the information there
 is unclear.

 Observing from the outside if a person follows the prompts to download
 FFMPEG , they are pointed to version 2.6.2 by performing the following :

 1) https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
 2) choose MAC static builds
 3) http://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/
 4) The first two downloads are both version 2.6.2
 5) The top of the site says ( FFmpeg developers strongly encourage all
 users to use a current snapshot build instead of a release build. Bug
 reports are only accepted for snapshot builds.)
 6) The snapshot version is undefined in that statement
 7) Most users will download the first item shown, seeing as the website
 owner is placing the highest importance at the top of the page.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I thought your binary was from ​https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ - is that
 wrong?

 The original test was done with a repository pull using ( Mac Ports )

 The latest test was using a binary version 2.6.1 from (
 http://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ )

 Let me know if that is the correct version to perform tests with.
