I'm installing ffmpeg to run on an Amazon linux AMI, and have added the rpmforge repo and the dag repo.  Here are some guidelines I'm using for reference:  TWoZaO and Razuna 
The rpmforge repo has ffmpeg, but if you try to install it then it will complain that is missing dependencies (for me libSDL-1.2.so.0()(64bit)). Regardless I will install ffmpeg from svn so I can be sure to enable the options I want (namelylibx264).  It seems strange to me though that SDL is not inrpmforgeordag`, and in according to both of my references above, it should be there.  I tried to grab it manually from here, but it needs these dependencies, so no-go:
