I’ve been watching Apple’s WWDC video on how to convert apps to work on Apple Silicon.
They say that all external libraries (which I’m using plenty of) need to be compiled as universal binaries.
Is that something that FFmpeg already supports (maybe from the PPC/Intel switch days about 10 years ago)?
Or would I be able to compile two separate libraries (for Intel and ARM) and combine them into one?

Ok, thanks!
