U mean:

cp -rf HEREISLIBVACODEC/libavcodec/* HEREISMPLAYER/main/libavcodec

U got the order of v and a reversed. 

How about making a small shell script in the same directory (as the
README) and add a line in the README asking the user to run it from the
same directory ? 

Lets call that script libavcodec.sh and its contents could be:

#!/bin/sh

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.ffmpeg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co 
ffmpeg/libavcodec

mv ffmpeg/libavcodec/* .
rm -rf ffmpeg
