Introduction to FFmpeg
FFmpeg is a solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It is a very fast video and audio converter and it can also acquire from a live audio/video source. Designed to be intuitive, the command-line interface (ffmpeg) tries to figure out all the parameters, when possible. FFmpeg can also convert from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter. FFmpeg can use a video4linux compatible video source and any Open Sound System audio source.

Using a SVN Snapshot
If you would rather use a svn snapshot instead of the tarball above grab the source with Subversion and optionaly create a tarball for use at a later time:
svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
tar cvjf ffmpeg-r$(svnversion ffmpeg).tar.bz2 ffmpeg
NOTE: If you are building with a SVN Snapshot the dependencies may not be the same.
Configuring
Look at the output of ./configure --help and add the parameters for the optional dependencies you have installed.
A few options you may want to use:
--enable-pp --enable-liba52 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libtheora --enable-x264 --enable-xvid --enable-libvorbis
Dependencies
Optional
Non-Multilib
If you are not building a SVN Snapshot apply the following patches:
patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-gcc4-1.patch && patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-amr_fixes-1.patch
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
--enable-pthreads --enable-gpl \
--disable-ffplay &&
make
Install the package
make install
