The worst part was getting ffmpeg to work, so here are my notes.
Requirements
(download, extract, etc.)
- faac
- faad2
- lame
- ./configure && make && make install
- libtheora
- ./configure && make && make install
- libvorbis
- ./configure && make && make install
- xvidcore
- cd build/generic; ./configure && make && make install
- x264
- download and install latest subversion
- ./configure --enable-shared && make && make install
Configure, Compile, and Install FFMPEG
./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libxvid --enable-shared --enable-libfaac \
--enable-libfaad --enable-gpl --enable-libtheora \
--enable-libx264
make
make install
Create Symlinks
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.50 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.51 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfaad.so.0 /usr/lib/libfaad.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfaac.so.0 /usr/lib/libfaac.so.0
If you don't create these symlinks you will get errors like:
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object fileDone.
Run ffmpeg and it should spit out that insane list of options, wihout any errors.
