@theta-gus see below for why I unflagged the package.

@oech3 This package is not out of date, we follow the official extra package version (to prevent conflicts), which is still 2:7.1.1-5 as of right now. I'll update to ffmpeg 8.x when the repo package is updated, shouldn't be too long.

If you encounter dependency break when updating the system, you can try building the package in clean chroot and using a local repository to resolve this issue.

@salfter you have to rebuild it against the new library version. it gets automatically set to the version of the library it’s built against.

The build is now complaining about libplacebo:

The weird thing is that it indicates it's looking for a particular version, but the PKGBUILD doesn't specify a version.

Update: I got one system to successfully upgrade by adding libplacebo to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. I'm now figuring out how to fix another system that was switched over to the newer ffmpeg/mpv/libplacebo and now won't build ffmpeg-libfdk_aac. Older versions of mpv and libplacebo are in the Pacman cache, but ffmpeg isn't. I'm going to try building it from a PKGBUILD from the previous commit on a system that hadn't yet been updated, and then move the package over to where I need it.

Update #2: I rolled back the system that had been upgraded to the newer ffmpeg/mpv/libplacebo by setting Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2025/05/20/$repo/os/$arch in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Once that was done, I restored /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, set IgnorePkg = libplacebo mpv in /etc/pacman/conf, and updated to the latest packages again.

Update #3: Never mind...maybe? Looks like a newer PKGBUILD is up, and it's building against the newer mpv and libplacebo with makepkg -s. I suspect the resulting package will be installable and all will be well.
