It's not that simple actually. It needs the latest version of each of the still supported version tracks: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=configure;h=46f20386273a3375fdd8f2517b3c5c4de2ad05ed;hb=HEAD#l6150 So either the latest 9.1, 9.0, 8.2 or 8.1 Version. Since each higher version has a higher nvidia-drivers requirement, the older ones are needed to support legacy nvidia cards.

If I understand a possible solution is create all nv-codec-headers ebuilds for those version and then add video_cards_nvidia? || ( media-libs/nv-codec-headers:0/9.1[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] media-libs/nv-codec-headers:0/9.0[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] media-libs/nv-codec-headers:0/8.2[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] media-libs/nv-codec-headers:0/8.1[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] ) as dependency in ffmpeg-9999 I started to see this problem with media-video/ffmpeg-4.3. I don't want to spend money these days on new card just because of some dependency.

Maybe is a nasty solution but I just removed >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.21[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] and add >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.25[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] to the nv-codec-headers ebuild and ffmpeg-4.3.1 did compile I am seeing the same issue. I have a laptop with an older nvidia video card in it and can only use the nvidia-drivers-390 series. Same here: Using an old machine with an old nvidia-card wich requires nvidia-drivers-390 series. I modified the nv-codec-headers ebuild as accelerat0r suggested. I also had to change the USE flags as mentioned in ticket 777174. This semms to work (at the moment).

I just wanted to comment that the ebuild change may not be necessary if modifying the USE flags. ffmpeg[-video_cards_nvidia] should not even pull in nv-codec-headers, making any changes to nv-codec-headers unnecessary. I think this is solved by the nvenc global change: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/media-video/ffmpeg?id=55690b2a098006300bbc2624a15c41f47396cd5c, kind of, in that it at least won't be pulled in by default if you have nvidia and don't care about ffmpeg acceleration via it.

I was affected by the problem, but it does appear to have been fixed by the switch to the nvenc USE flag. It's fixed for ffmpeg-6.0.1, but all other versions have unneeded restrictions: /usr/portage/media-video/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-9999.ebuild: nvenc?
