You cannot require anyone to host copies of the ffmpeg source code. GPL 
(whether v2 or v3) does not require that. What it requires is that the 
sources to the original plus any modifications be made available upon 
request.

For example, see GPLv3, 6(b)(2): assuming the ffmpeg.exe bundled with 
MediaCoder is built from unmodified sources, it is perfectly OK to just 
provide a link to the ffmpeg download site in the MediaCoder 
documentation.

IANAL etc. disclaimers ad nauseam.
