Apparently you also tried using ffmpeg 2.8, but that didn’t work either?
Do you have an idea how different their own ffmpeg variant is?

Could you move to video.scm, inherit from ‘ffmpeg’, and arrange to
reduce duplication as much as possible?

(Even better would be to avoid it altogether but I’m assuming it won’t
be that simple…)

The rest LGTM, thanks!
