Installing ffmpeg on FreeBSD couldn’t be simpler. Just type the following command:

pkg_add -r ffpmpeg

And that should install ffmpeg along with audio and video codecs and other dependencies.

Most likely, other Linux or Unix-based systems provide similar ways to install ffmpeg but unfortunately this is not well documented.
