arm64 frigate image contains old ffmpeg while build scripts attempts to package it:

Please read the docs. The default image uses the raspberry pi specific build when you pull via arm64

There is a separate arm64 specific build that has the suffix -standard-arm64

https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/installation#docker

Sorry missed that doc, but it does not explain why would I prefer old ffmpeg on rpi arm64 instead of new ffmpeg from standard-arm64. Would v5 ffmpeg not work on rpi arm64?

[NickM-27]

because rpi is a fickle device that requires a specific build of ffmpeg to have hwaccel work.

There are multiple times where using standard ffmepg has caused hwaccel on the pi to break:
