[mythtv-users] myth2ipod install help

[Walter Hofstetter]

I went to http://atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ffmpeg and downloaded 
ffmpeg-0.4.9-17_r6524.at.src.rpm 
<http://dl.atrpms.net/all/ffmpeg-0.4.9-17_r6524.at.src.rpm>, installed 
(rpm -iv rpmfile).
After that the source tar will be in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
