Answer 1

Hi I hope this helps you, it seems pretty popular for easy installs.

http://www.ffmpeginstaller.com/

ffmpeginstaller is a free software completely written in bash shell script. The purpose of this script is to build a video streaming platform form in your Gnu/Linux server. So you can start video streaming websites and avoid the cost of installations. This script not only install ffmpeg but also all its friends packages.

Answer 2

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.
