hi Corban,

two ways to get a ffmpeg binary for windows:
build one yourself, or use the version that comes with the GUI
(http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=434).

not sure about the mac. for linux, proceed normally.

my guess is that there might be potential patent issues and that
that's why nobody dares to provide a binary. i don't know, though.

i also don't know if that's really what google uses. it's probably
just a rumor, because it's the only server-side tool people know of.
