Ffmpeg as a huge dependency tree (more than 200 libraries). Upgrading it could break a lot of things. It would be trivial if it where in buster-backports, but it’s not (probably because it would imply backporting a lot of libraries).

I strongly advise you to wait for the publication of **Yunohost 11** , or to upgrade to the [the last RC](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/we-plan-to-release-yunohost-11-as-stable-in-the-next-days-please-test-it/19844#yunohost-1107-release-candidate-1) if you can’t wait and are ready to face some remaining bugs. It would be a lot easier and safer than upgrading the ffmpeg packages.
