Maybe it would be a good idea to describe somewhere, how to install ffmpeg from 
sid in testing:
1. Make testing your default. Write this somewhere in /etc/apt/apt.conf or 
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
or
APT::Default-Release "jessie";

The name here must match with the release name in sources.list.

2. Edit your sources.list file and add sid to it, e.g.:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

3. Update and install ffmpeg:
apt-get update && apt-get install -t sid ffmpeg

(untested commands, because I don't have a debian machine atm).

Cheers, Gerion
