Description Sven Gothel 2025-12-17 01:21:11 CET 
On Debian 13 (and similarly Ubuntu/ArchLinux/..), FFmpeg 7 is being installed.
Further, current FFmpeg developer version is 8.

FFmpeg versions 4 and 5 are no more used in contemporary distributions,
hence we can also remove these to save footprint.
Comment 1 Sven Gothel 2025-12-19 05:35:16 CET 
Resolved as described.

Only material code change:
- drop using `avcodec_close` for just `avcodec_free_context`
