Hi,

now this made my evening today.

I did print Mr. Reindl Harald's text and pin it in-front of my head at
workplace just to remind me in humorist way how *not* to speak to Linux
beginners :D

if you feel better now...

the rpmfusion homepage has clear instructions and the first time i installed Fedora many years ago the instrcutions where identcial and it took 5 minutes to get the repo and ffmpeg installed from there with yum

Just to add, I am not a regular user of Linux machines so do not have
much idea how the things works. Even I tried "yum install ffmpeg"
option but that also resulted in errors.

Packages from repositories can always have dozens of dependencies, and
further subdependecies. Rather than asking us, you need to ask the
packager, or even better, ask the repository. There are tools for doing
that, i.e. resolving dependencies: "Package managers".

I assume that https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html directed you to
http://rpmfusion.org/ . Right?

On that page, follow the link:
"Enable RPM Fusion on your system"
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

 From there, see
"Command Line Setup using rpm"
-> "RHEL 5 or compatible like CentOS"

When you are done activating the repo, you get ffmpeg by doing:
$ yum install ffmpeg
(I think RHEL5 is yum based.)

That will download and install *all* dependencies. There will be more
than just ffmpeg-libs, as rpmfusion's ffmpeg links against a lot of
libraries, which are all packaged separately (and rightly so).

If you "just want to test", I think there are static builds available
here (non-RPM):
http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
There you also get "recent" builds from git master.

Please help me with some simple steps to install this library.

It's simple, and the instructions are all on that site you got liked
to. ;-)
