there's an issue available, but nothing happened for 1,5 years now. Given that it's needed just for recording stuff people play, just mask that useflag until problem is resolved. thanks.

    games-emulation/vbam: Pin ffmpeg back to version 3

    It doesn't build with ffmpeg 4, the dependency is optional, and
    upstream don't appear to be in a hurry to fix it.

    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/654176
    Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.48, Repoman-2.3.10

This bug isn't about the build failure, but the blockage of the ffmpeg-4 update due to hard depending on the old slot of ffmpeg. Thus, masking the useflag seems apropiate to me.
