A client needed FFMPEG installed on a Centos Server for use with SlideShow Pro Director.
Here is a quick method using Yum rather than compiling the source code, assuming you have root privileges:

Add a new repository for Yum

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

and add the following repo details to it
[dag]name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linuxbaseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/daggpgcheck=1enabled=1

Then install FFMpeg
yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

I then got an error about not having a public key installed. So we need to import the public key for the Dag RPM repo which is available here: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Thanks to http://www.mysql-apache-php.com/ffmpeg-install.htm for the kick-start on this.

I just lost 2 hours of my life trying to work out why the 'localize calendar' example in the jQueryUI Datepicker docs wasn't working for me.
I eventually found that you need to include some extra localisation files which are completely undocumented.

I was working on a German version and I needed:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/ui/i18n/ui.datepicker-de.js"></script>

View Source on this page http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/localization.html for the full details.
