Correct me if I'm wrong, though
That's not wrong, however, what you need to know is the difference between the LGPL and the GPL.
With the LGPL you can include the binaries of LGPL'd software in your application even if it is proprietery (which your script most likely is) but with GPL you can't.
That means that since FFMPEG is LGPL you can include it as long as you don't make any source changes (which you in that case must publish for others to see legally).
