Do you have subversion installed? What's the error you get when you try? – James Lawrie Nov 13 '10 at 3:50

I dont think I have subversion installed. How can I install it? Also I am running CentOS 64-bit.When I run that line it just gets stuck there. And after a while spits out timeout error – Chirag Nov 15 '10 at 2:37

Grab the latest release, extract it (tar -xvjpf ffmpeg-0.6.1.tar.bz2), and continue with the tutorial. That should get you around the SVN requirement.

or better grab the binary somewhere ! there is no need for packages with multimedia - package updates tend to break things by my experience, so get binary from some working system of yours and copy it there. The Ubuntu 10.10 is the first usable ffmpeg I saw in the distros in the long time... – Qiqi Jan 30 '11 at 3:43
