sudo rpm -Uhv rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uhv rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install ffmpeg

From time to time you have to decompress .rar archives on your Linux. It’s pretty easy. Just download proper RPM package from repoforge repository . In my case it was
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/unrar/unrar-5.0.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh unrar-5.0.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
Done. To extract archive just use
unrar x yourfile.rar
