Unfortunately FFmpeg is much less 'stable' than firefox in both its
dependencies and API across different series. Meaning that upgrade of
FFmpeg often requires upgrade of libx264 (like in 0.6-&gt;0.7), or requires
changes in software that uses FFmpeg (0.6-&gt;0.7 doesn't, however).

The &quot;easy&quot; way out in this case could be upgrading FFmpeg 0.6-&gt;0.7 and
x264 and doing extensive Q&amp;A to avoid breakage. The &quot;hard&quot; way is
backporting the ~200 relevant patches (most of which don't apply
automatically).
