Some fun data about that:

$ hoorex ffmpeg
ffmpeg kino winff alephone ffmpegthumbnailer sinthgunt ffmpeg2theora 
libvdpau-va-gl digikam soundconverter makemkv cantata spek lastfm miro 
get_iplayer ssr minidlna bombono-dvd cinelerra vcmi rosa-media-player 
linphone xjadeo imagination devede transcode openmw kradio freerdp 
recorditnow mlt dvd-slideshow wxsvg xvst ripit flowblade 
imageshack-uploader mpv ffms2 guvcview

Thats just the hard dependencies BTW - those SlackBuilds which specify 
ffmpeg in their .info file. They are the direct dependers on ffmpeg. 
There are others too which require ffmpeg indirectly i.e. they depend on 
these direct dependers, so:

$ hoorex -m ffmpeg
ffmpeg vcmi kino winff alephone ffmpegthumbnailer sinthgunt xjadeo 
dvd-slideshow imagination digikam marathon2-data devede wxsvg cantata 
spek lastfm marathon-data xvst kradio mpv freerdp ripit recorditnow 
guvcview mlt linphone marathon-infinity-data libvdpau-va-gl 
imageshack-uploader soundconverter transcode openmw vlc ssr kdenlive 
sopcast-player openshot rosa-media-player flowblade ffmpeg2theora wargus 
makemkv ffms2 get_iplayer bombono-dvd remmina aegisub tovid dvdrip 
minidlna oggconvert dvdstyler cinelerra miro

Piping those commands to wc tells us there are 41 packages which 
directly require ffmpeg and 55 altogether (direct and indirect).


To work out a build list that includes all the other packages required 
by those 55, pipe the result to hoorex -r instead:

Piping that to wc shows a total of 222 packages to rebuild. Its hard to 
imagine much testing beyond successful building for so many packages.
