Ffmpeg Install On Centos 5.5

I need some system admin work on my dedicated CentOS 5.5 server:

1. PHP needs MySQL support, at the moment it cannot connect to any MySQL databases. The default CentOS install when running phpinfo() says it was built ‘–without-mysql’. MySQL is running fine, and I can connect from other applications.
2. PHP needs GD support
3. PHP needs extension ffmpeg-php installing and configuring
4. ffmpeg needs installing and configuring.
4.1 I need to use PNG watermarks/overlay on encoded video, either using vhook with imlib2 or using the newer -af and overlay method.
4.3 I need AAC audio decode support, faad/faad2?

I have tried to do some of this work myself, some RPM, some yum and some compile from source, so there may be some cleanup needed too 🙂
