The Holy Grail: Command Line FFMPEG on Mac OSX

This post is a challenge to all Mac OSX Video gurus to put to bed once and for all the install dependencies of ffmpeg.

Let's make some assumptions:

1. we want to use ffmpeg
2. we want to use ffmpeg on the command line (ie: not just through the ffmpegx gui)
3. we have a nice fresh installation of Mac OS X 10.4+
4. we have installed the xcode developer tools

Let's look at a reasonable scenario and ask: what are the specific dependencies / packages that a user must have installed in order for ffmpeg to work:

1. we want to encode video for iPod and PSP
2. we want to be able to encode mp3 audio
3. we want to be able to encode H.264

As far as I'm aware, this mean:

1. installing x264, xvid, mp3lame and faac
2. configuring ffmpeg with:

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-xvid --enable-x264 --enable-mp3lame --enable-faac

But I've lost track of the packages I've had to install to install the codecs and I'm still getting error messages when I try to make ffmpeg.

What do I need to do as a minimum to actually get ffmpeg to compile on OSX with these codecs installed?
