A lot of people are getting hiring people to install FFMPEG as they think it?s a difficult task, but it?s much easier than you think if you follow these instructions. You should have root access & basic Linux knowledge to the server to follow these instructions.
1. Create a directory to do our work in
mkdir ~/ffmpeg
cd ~/ffmpeg
2. Get all the source files
wget http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20071007.tar.bz2
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/17497/flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz
