You have to tell them where they can download the exact sources you used to compile ffmpeg.exe - therefore you have to provide the source on your own download server, because this is the only way to make sure the sources are really available. If your installer installs ffmpeg.exe on the user's computer, do not forget to inform your users (in your EULA) that you are installing FFmpeg, that FFmpeg is released under the GPL and where to find the authors of FFmpeg (and repeat that for all other projects that you use, like for example x264). Note that all requirements you have to follow make absolutely no difference between commercial and non-commercial projects.
