Hello, ffmpeg requires the permission to execute files in /tmp which is rather odd, not to mention that users shouldn't be allowed to run things in /tmp. This is a problem on user systems because /tmp and ~/.. should be mounted nosuid noexec for obvious security reasons. When compiling or updating ffmpeg this imposes the need to go single-user which could be a problem in production environments. This is probably something that I could bring up with the development team, though you may be more able to appreciate and value my point towards them. Sincerely, Patrick Dorion
