I got this error.. why??

Initialized empty Git repository in /root/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/.git/ fatal: dumb http transport does not support --depth

Installing from this source.. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos

It's because the "dumb" http protocol doesn't support using the --depth tag. You need to use git://:

git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg
