<strong>Debian</strong> has not provided deb packages for ffmpeg due patent issues. However this is about to change so checkout for availability of newer versions of debian ffmpeg debs. You can build yourself from source or from <a href="http://debian-multimedia.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Christian Marillat website</a> or apt repository. 
<pre>
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main # ( etch )
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main # ( lenny )
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable main # ( sid )

</pre>
Add the suitable line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run this: 
<pre>
apt-get update ; apt-get -y install libavcodec-dev libavcodec0d libavformat-dev libavformat0d

<h2><a name="Configure_Script"></a> <a href="http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ConfigureScript" class="twikiLink">Configure Script</a> </h2>
Configure is script that you run to setup the build environment for the C-compiler. It generates the "Makefile" which the program "make" uses to compile and install the software.
<p />
To run configure your current directory must be the motion directory. You type
<p />
<code>./configure</code>
<p />
You can add the parameter <code>./configure --help</code> to get help on the different switches.
<p />
This is walk through of the options.
