Let me see if I can help out here a bit. FFmpeg can definitely present some problems, both from the LGPL view and from issues with patented codecs.
I would consider looking into one of several other open source video codecs: http://www.theora.org/ http://diracvideo.org/about_dirac I don't know if either of those will have all the software you need, but the license for Ogg Theora should be ok. For Dirac, I need to look into it a bit more. I'm not sure what Arts is. Can someone point that out to me?
