    Did you even try googling? Very first result for "ffmpeg centos" was tuxmachines.org/node/17063 "How to install ffmpeg on centos/rhel".

I found this to be the best guide when installing ffmpeg.

http://www.videochat-scripts.com/install-ffmpeg-mplayer-flvtool2-yamdi-x264-theora-mp3lame-vorbis-ogg-faac/

Make sure you follow each step. If the install of any dependency fails, retry.

Good luck.

EDIT

The guide doesn't include qt-faststart. Follow this if you need it:

cd ~/ffmpeg
make tools/qt-faststart
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=qt-faststart --pkgversion="$(./version.sh)" --backup=no \
    --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default install -D -m755 tools/qt-faststart \
    /usr/local/bin/qt-faststart

Also, follow @pablo's point about git rather than svn.

    this is pretty accurate except install ffmpeg from git rather than svn.
