Description

This benchmark relies on a static build of ffmpeg, which we source from an external website. Instead of pulling the ffmpeg binary at every single build, which adds a lot of pressure on that website in CI builds and can lead to errors when pulling data (e.g., rate limits), we could put a pinned and reproducible variant of ffmpeg in our benchmarks-data instead.

We should a new resources category in benchmarks-data, and change init.sh script to copy that binary during initial build.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the init.sh script to see how ffmpeg is currently fetched. Then, review the structure of benchmarks data to understand how resources are stored, and identify where a pinned ffmpeg binary could be added.
