@adeykin90 GwenDragon's bash script is out of date for current versions and not needed as Vivialdi has its own.
See https://labs.gwendragon.de/blog/Web/Browser/Vivaldi/Archiv/vivaldi-debian-install-libffmpeg-project-en//edit1: Gwen had patched the bash script to show a message, the project was abadoned.
As i know a restart of Vivaldi should fetch the correct codec.
If not, please use
sudo /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg
