This is not ffmpeg from FFmpeg. See:

That is an important issue. Upstream for this ffmpeg is not from the
FFmpeg project. I know it is confusing, but this is the result of
others (Libav and Debian/Ubuntu specifically) misrepresenting the
name "ffmpeg".

Please compile ffmpeg if you want help here, or if that is not a
possibility you can use a static build from "burek" or "relaxed":
