The version of FFMPEG included with MCM is very out of date. Could it be updated to the current one?

I re-encode the movies in my collection because some of the movies that get downloaded (due to upgrades) are poorly encoded. Re-encoding them fixes problems I have in Kodi with the pause button disappearing.
The problem occurs far less often with the newest versions. For instance, I have overwritten the FFMPEG and FFPROBE you keep in the appdata/roaming folder with the new versions and it works a lot better than previous.
Also, why not update from a 2018 version? You would think the newest version would contain a lot of bug fixes that could make the features you use work better?
