-This guide is based on a minimal installation of the latest CentOS release, and will provide a local, non-system installation of FFmpeg with support for several common external encoding libraries. These instructions should also work for recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora. This is a non-invasive guide and undoing all steps is simple and is shown at the end of this page.
+This guide is based on a minimal installation of the latest '''CentOS''' release, and will provide a local, non-system installation of FFmpeg with support for several common external encoding libraries. These instructions should also work for recent '''Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)''' and '''Fedora'''.

+You may also refer to the [[GenericCompilationGuide|Generic Compilation Guide]] for additional information about compiling software.
+
+Recent [http://ffmpeg.org/download.html#LinuxBuilds static builds] are also available for lazy people or those who are unable to compile. The static builds do not support non-free encoders.
+
+This guide is designed to be non-intrusive and will create several directories in your home directory:
+
+* `ffmpeg_sources` – Where the source files will be downloaded. This can be deleted if desired when finished with the guide.
+* `ffmpeg_build` – Where the files will be built and libraries installed. This can be deleted if desired when finished with the guide.
+* `bin` – Where the resulting binaries (`ffmpeg`, `ffplay`, `ffserver`, `x264`, `x265`) will be installed.
+
+You can easily undo any of this as shown in [#RevertingChangesMadebyThisGuide Reverting Changes Made by This Guide].
