Installing ffmpeg

[RobNH]

Hi,

I am running the latest version of cPanel on as Linux/Apache v2.2.25 (cgi-fcgi) and PHP 5.4.20, and I've been trying to install ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php.

It's turned into a giant nightmare with the failing to compile ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php. I'm basically spinning my wheels with trying different installation methods and receiving the same compilation errors.

Is there an easy way to install ffmpeg via cPanel?
