Yes, sure you can install ffmpeg without the Intel Media SDK. ffmpeg then doesn't make use of the "Intel Quick Sync" hardware acceleration though. There are arguments whether that acceleration is useful though - arguments about actual speed gain, supported codec parameters, and so on. Some of these arguments may be outdated. If you really have the need for testing the hardware acceleration, I believe you must google your way through those paths of integrating. Otherwise, just use plain ffmpeg.
