We will install x264 codec from videolan org, as you know x264 codec is very popular nowdays.

Open a terminal, Ctrl-Alt+T

 git clone --depth 1 git://git.videolan.org/x264
Cd x264
./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --enable-static --disable-opencl
make -j2
sudo make install

We have installed x264 codec successfuly. now one more lib we will install called libmp3.

 sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev -y

We have installed libmp3. Now ffmpeg

 cd 
git clone --depth=1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpg
./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-nonfree
