Thanks for this guidance. In times like these, I find sunlight is always the best disinfectant.
The yt-dlp application functions better alongside ffmpeg, so I recommend installing that too. If on Linux, whatever is available via one's package manager /should/ do the trick.
Note, the project does make mention there are issues [1] with "standard ffmpeg", and is therefore minting custom builds [2][3] of ffmpeg, with additional patches applied.
