If the talk is of "PS3 Media Server", or the alledgedly better
"Universal Media Server" (from http://www.spirton.com/), they of course
already support several video file engines: MEncoder,
AviSynth/MEncoder, tsMuxeR, FFmpeg, AviSynth/FFmpeg. Note at the bottom
of the "Transcoding Settings": "Engines are in descending order; the
highest is first". Just bump FFmpeg to the top and try again. :-)

Universal Media Server tries to build more up-to-date versions of
FFmpeg for its package, IIUC. Do try that as well.
