Hi Mark,

I know about the MythTV/FFmpeg repository.  I did the last update to 
FFmpeg 5.1.

The general strategy is:

 1. In MythTV/FFmpeg
     1. Update MythTV/FFmpeg with the upstream commits
     2. `git clean -xdf`
 2. In MythTV/MythTV
     1. Delete the mythtv/external/FFmpeg folder
     2. Copy the MythTV/FFmpeg repository into MythTV as
        mythtv/external/FFmpeg
     3. `git add -A mythtv/external/FFmpeg` (making sure there are no
        extraneous files first)
     4. `git commit`
     5. Test the changes


I wanted to make sure no one else was already working on an FFmpeg update.

I am also proposing a different method for adding the commits to 
MythTV/FFmpeg.  Hopefully this will make future updates easier.  The new 
method will make it easier to see what are changes actually are and to 
upstream them.

Regards,

Scott
