FFmpeg 6.1 has been checked into GIT.  I tested a few files by
loading/playing and rendered some too.  Also, tested bluray and DVD
creation which I know is used very little BUT I USE IT, so it is the most
important to me!

The only thing I would like to test but do not know how is the nvenc/cuda,
but I did look at ffmpeg-6.1 patch10 and tried to compare with that in
5.1.  Not too sure about it.
