ffmpeg's source code is extremely compatible, honestly. They go to long
efforts not to depend on modern compiler or system features.

Where? On the download page with the sources, no restriction whatsoever
is mentionend.

Pardon?

http://ffmpeg.org/
->
http://ffmpeg.org/download.html
right column "Get the Sources"
"Download snapshot", alternatively "git Snapshot".

Assuming you have a compiler (Xcode?), you just unpack the sources,
change into the source directory, and run

./configure
make

which should give you an ffmpeg in the same directory. Possibly without
external dependencies, which may or may not be sufficient.

Furthermore, there's a wiki page giving you several other options on
building your own ffmpeg, incl. more external dependencies:

Yes, I was talking about macOS 10.7, and even the source code needs to be 
compatible. Every link I ran across on FFMPEG.ORG  will 
direct to the source code that would require at least macOS 10.9, but even with 
the long list of the links to source code it’s difficult to pick one rather 
than downloading from every provided link.

I guess... you guess right, Moritz!

Ilja, it works if you compile the source code yourself, but
I don't know either a build which works.

10.7 of what?

> What is the latest compatible build and where's the downloadable link?

Since I don't know which operating system or distribution is meant, I
can't help you. In general, you can build ffmpeg from source even on
very old, obsoleted operating systems and Linux distributions. For not
so old ones, there may or may not exist pre-build binaries.

If 10.7 is a Mac OS X version (I'm guessing here):
The binaries linked from the ffmpeg website won't work.
This requires 10.9: https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/#remarks
This requires 10.10: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
