Yes, but all requirements of the LGPL still apply if you distribute the binaries. Please read http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html and ignore "notably libx264". You will have to patch your copy of FFmpeg to be able to fulfil point "1" (you have to remove the "--enable-gpl" requirement for x264 from configure). I believe it would be a good idea if you clearly say in your EULA that you bought a license for x264 but that you distribute FFmpeg under the LGPL.
