Actually having a static binary is not a no brainer. I know that I use a

can't tell you why I use a static binary or the difference between that and

know. if that makes me "a little child" with "a slow brain" then said
person is brilliant.
Advantages of static linking:
1) Self-contained - convenient
2) Locks in its dependencies - consistent
Advantages of dynamic linking:
1) Deduplication. Many executables can link to the same library and
they'll use the same one - on disk, in memory, etc. Reduces load times
for commonly-used libraries. Can be taken even further by putting the
libraries on fast storage, and then even an executable on slow storage
will be able to load the library at high speed.
2) Dependencies can be updated independently, allowing bug fixes and
security patches.
It's most definitely not a no-brainer, and there are good reasons to
use both (even within the same binary - statically link some libraries
and dynamically link others).

You're right. The current version I've been using requires
[vulkan-1.dll], but even if you do not have the file, it can be
downloaded and installed in the FFMpeg directory and upon uninstall, can
be deleted with the FFMpeg files. P.S. I am using the shared version
from BtbN: https://github.com/BNtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases
<https://github.com/BNtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases> (requires vulkan-1.dll).
