How do i get FFMPEG and MENCODER on my SDX?

When i tried the phpmotion tester i got the error

which: no ffmpeg in (/bin:/usr/bin)
which: no mencoder in (/bin:/usr/bin)

So i guess the arent installed on my server...

If you are on SDX, they are installed in /usr/local/bin/

Next time you're looking for something, just shell into your account and do a 'search'.

For instance:

/home/<account>/public_html$ whereis -u ffmpeg
ffmpeg: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

/home/<account>/public_html$ which -v ffmpeg
