hi, thanks you for amazing repo, i was wondering if this repo can support macOS static build or not? i use static builds of ffmpeg from the https://www.osxexperts.net/ but it seems like the script on the website is not working.

If you want to contribute, then the steps how to patch Homebrew's FFmpeg were outlined in https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/issues/62#issuecomment-2177100664.

If you've managed to get it to work on your machine, and if you've managed to set up compilation and publishing on GitHub Packages (like stock Homebrew, which downloads pre-built binaries from GitHub), then we can add a link to your formula to the README (or you can transfer you formula to yt-dlp organisation).

By default Homebrew doesn't produce static builds. I've no idea, whether it's possible to force it to do so.
