(In reply to Sergey V. Dyatko from comment #10)
None of the CURRENT consumers of cad/opencascade require ffmpeg(4) libraries or
any other version. What you're seeing is overlinking and it's also non default
option (based on upstream's configuration), this is noted in
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278913 and has not been
resolved.

All igition ports are broken, outdated and unsupported upstream
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286867

net/freeswitch have PRs for support of newer versions of FFmpeg

multimedia/bino upstream is barely alive, no response from maintainer

java/openjfx14 is very outdated and unsupported upstream, Google also suggests
that there are multiple security vulns. Unmaintained in tree for years

graphics/gnash is dead and abandonware, if people still want this Ruffle is
probably your best bet

games/hedgewars - Depends on multiple legacy libraries including QT5 so its
probably going away soon and other repos suggests that newer versions of FFmpeg
works. Some package repos have already removed it

ath/octave-forge-video - Repo seems to be more or less dormant
https://github.com/Andy1978/octave-video/issues/5

net/mediastreamer - No idea about upstream status

If wine-proton 10 ever makes it into tree it makes more sense to use the same
approach as for multimedia/ffmpeg3
