Hi Mark, I recently setup ffmpeg on a shared host, i use Dreamhost, i believe it's Debian. It took me a couple days to track down all the information and quite a few compiles, i won't tell you how many, before i got it right. I'm also not really strong in this department either though so that might attribute to the amount of times i had to compile everything. You have to compile lame first then compile ffmpeg with lame if you want to output audio with your video. I use php as that's what is on my server but i'm sure it's just as easy to use anything else.
I'm having a difficult time getting everything to work properly in a windows environment using apache but i haven't really had much of a chance to really dig in. Sönke has a nice little setup / tutorial that walks you through the setup of FFMPEG, LAME and a few others on windows... http://soenkerohde.com/tutorials/ffmpeg/ i documented my setup process on dreamhost thoroughly, not sure if that will be any help to you though..
