Finally enter your Mac OSX login password, and click 'Install' to install the components. You may now trash the files you have downloaded (as a copy will have been installed in /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX).
After installation, locate the video you want to convert and drag it into the source format section of the FFMPEGX interface. Choose FLV from the dropdown menu in the Target Format section.
By default, FFMPEGX converts all flash movies to 320x240 at 12fps and 200 kbps bitrate and Audio defaults to MP3 at 56 kbps. These settings are low for most videos. Switch this to a framerate matching the original content by clicking the Video tab and changing Framerate in Video Parameters. Click the Audio tab and choose a higher or lower Audio bitrate depending on your content.
