[Avid-L2] FFmpeg for the rest of us?

 

It just feels like it's my night in the barrel of video formats.  Trying to convert a flash video using mpeg streamclip I get an error saying I need ffmpeg in something like usr/local/bin or something like that.  Googling FFmpeg has a host of various approaches to ffmpeg command line of ffmpegx gui etc....  Is this really as difficult as it seems to be?  Sometimes I get a prompt for perian which seems to apply to these scenarios but I'm not interested in adding the whacky levels potentials I've heard about with perian codec installed.  I'm on a mac book pro os 10.6.6  I thought I had converted flash files before but I might have been going the other way converting a QT to a flash or some such thing.  What is a good way to convert a flash video to something QT compatible?  Also what is the simplist way to install FFmpeg functionality and are there any downsides with installing it?  Man once again I long for the days of 3/4 or 1 inch?
