I am currently installing ffmpeg on my own vps. I'm following a tutorial found at - http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/17063

"First
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
Insert

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Followed by
yum update

To use the DAG repository you need to have several GPG keys installed, for this you need to install RPMForge which automatically installs required GPG keys and such.

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm

yum install ffmpeg
Yum will then install all ffmpeg packages including devel.

Seems there is some lib problems along the way so in /etc/ld.so.conf
add on a new line
/usr/local/lib
then
ldconfig -v

To install the php extension follow the simple directions on http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/
Then you should be all set!"

I hope this helps.
 
To make sure you cover all your bases make sure you install the FFMPEG-Devel and the relevant rpms for the release of FFMPEG that yum installed.

yum install ffmpeg-devel

and you can find the rpm for the source code on dag.

You will need to install both to avoid issues with the FFMPEG-PHP configuration. You will also need to disable proc_open if you want to get it working so I advise you to install suhosin and disable proc_open only for the domain that will be using ffmpeg_php Tutorial can be found here http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=623944
