This is most likely caused by the new ffmpeg which has cpu specific 
optimalizations turned on for the first time, try manualy removing the version 
under /usr/lib[64]/sse2, that should make you fallback to the old no cpu 
specific optimalizations version.

Also try turning of selinux (setenforce 0) to see if that fixes things, note 
I'm not advocating this as a fix, merely suggesting doing this as a way to 
debug this.
