I was trying to figure out the samething. The current ffmpeg bombs on the 
libavcodec with some undefined references. Long story short. The ffmpeg folks 
encourage, recommend the cvs version be used. So here is the part of DETAILS 
that downloads the cvs directory, tars it, extracts to SORUCE_DIRECTORY, etc;

          MODULE=ffmpeg
         VERSION=cvs
          SOURCE=$MODULE-cvs.tar.bz2
SOURCE_DIRECTORY=$BUILD_DIRECTORY/$MODULE
   SOURCE_URL=cvs://:pserver:anonymous@mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg:ffmpeg


For a while I could not figure out why it was not working because I was using 
$MODULE on the SOURCE_URL lin. Changing it to ffmpeg instead worked. I also 
noticed the build then would fail with tar extraction if I used "gz". 
Changing it to "bz2" worked.

Anyway hope this helps.
