Description Christopher Beland 2010-12-30 15:31:12 UTC 
Running ffmpeg on a .flv file failed and produced an SELinux denial: "SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/ffmpeg from using the execstack access on a process."

I don't know whether ffmpeg is doing so legitimately, but if so it should be allowed. If not, a bug would need to be filed with RPMFusion (the packager) or the upstream maintainers.
