Best way to install ffmpeg on CentOS7
 

I need to install ffmpeg for a script that I will be using. What is the best way to install that, as of now? I may need something like php-ffmpeg too, I am not sure. I cant do that with yum install ffmpeg, and I was reading that I could add an extra repo. At the same time, I was reading in the books not to be adding too many repos too. In general I would like to do it in the best possible way. Maybe download the code from ffmpeg.org? It does not seem like they have good installation instructions there...

yum install epel-release (this is needed for Nux Desktop Repo)
rpm --import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro
rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop...nux.noarch.rpm
yum install ffmpeg

Do I need php-ffmpeg? This is for a php based tube site script, advanced.

"Note that the nux version of ffmpeg is pretty old. It may work quite well for your scripts though. I wound up installing from source, which is also doable.

https://gist.github.com/mustafaturan/7053900 gives instructions"

seems like you solved it.

anyhow, i was recently recommended to use a static build (not installing, just run it from the dir where it resides):

haven't tried it yet though.
