Is that so? I would have thought that, for using the copy "codec", only
the demuxers and possibly the parsers are required - no encoder or
decoder for the respective codec. I'd try this, but don't have the time
right now to compile.

Furthermore, the version is extremely old:

but _should_ be good enough for copying.

I do understand that this is software pre-configured on the Synology
NAS.

Any chance of cross-compiling or even natively compiling a newer
version of ffmpeg for/on the NAS, with the correct options?
