For Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) and Xenial (16.04) use this PPA:
   sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:cran/ffmpeg-3
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y libavfilter-dev
If libavfilter is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libavfilter.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

compilation terminated.

ffmpeg-devel is not on EPEL.

Wow, building ffmpeg from source is a big task, cf. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos. Lots of assemblers to make use of.

Closing, because both Wynton and C4 provides ffmpeg these days;
