Then I tried installing the dependent library one by one but I reached to a stage where libraries were interdependent which I could not resolve. Just to add, I am not a regular user of Linux machines so do not have much idea how the things works. Even I tried "yum install ffmpeg" option but that also resulted in errors.

no you *did not* because http://rpmfusion.org/ linked from there 
explains how to enable their repo and you have no business to skip all 
that instructions and scroll down to "Browse available packages"

damned install the http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration repos and type 
"yum install ffmpeg" and STOP deal with local downloads in your terminal 
or hire somebody who is able to grok basic instrcutions how to deal with 
your operating system

the whole purpose of a linux DISTRIBUTION is to GET UPDATES for all your 
software as well as dependencies automatically solved and hence repos 
like rpmfusion

https://www.google.com/search?q=centos+what+is+a+repo
https://wiki.centos.org/de/AdditionalResources/Repositories/

RPMfusion Repository - (See http://rpmfusion.org/) provides "software 
that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship" for EL5 and 6. 
Known to replace base packages. Mailing list for RPMfusion users.

I tried downloading each dependent library one by one and tried installing manually them but some libraries in turn showing dependencies on other libraries which I am not able to resolve. Please find below the error log when I tried installing the rpm present at above location:
