I just went through quite a hassle trying to install ffmpeg to get it to work with iMovie exports into Quicktime (mov) files.

Thought this might be a good place to share:

This was done on Fedora Core 6 (but shouldn't differ too much elsewhere):
yum install facc-devel faad2-devel lame-devel
cd /home
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure –prefix=/usr –enable-shared –enable-libfaac –enable-libfaad –enable-gpl –enable-libmp3lame
make
sudo make install

cd ..
Download FFmpeg-php
tar -xvf ffmpeg-php-0.5.0.tbz2
cd ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
