Try to get a cheap vps to install whatever you want or ask smaller hosting companies which are more customer focused and flexible.

Quality hosts who do not oversell servers have to charge more for their services or they won't be able to make money. Most hosting companys sell huge blocks of storage/bandwidth on lower end hardware with tons of HDDs and hope their customers never use their limits. If they come close they have some clause in their TOS that will stop you from being able to access all of your storage limits more than likely. You get what you pay for.
Its not uncommon to have few hundered - few thousand accounts on 1 machine in the shard hosting business. How do you think they pay for servers with shared hosting accounts starting @ 3 dollars a month for 20gb of storage and 500gb of transfer?

For 25 pound, you're looking at US$40... per month. For a bit more you can just get yourself a VPS at a high end provider, ie. US$50 per month, ffmpeg can then be installed.
Problems
What you're really talking about though is RTMP / FMS hosting. Looking at the software you mentioned, this is about running your own YouTube type site from your server, video hosting. This may sound easy, but this is why I ended up with a dedicated server, just for video streaming using WowzaMedia Pro, being a cheaper solution than Adobe FMS. I began exactly where you are, and found out quickly.
Software such as ffmpeg and other linux equivalents, are basic applications to run low end apps. When you begin talking about users uploading their own video content to your site, no problem... when you start talking about 50 people simultaneously watching a video, this is where you run into the issues at the server and the software streaming the content. If your site is low usage, ie. a few people at once will watch videos, no issues, a VPS and ffmpeg will do this hands down. If you are talking more along the lines of hundreds of users uploading video content, with a lot of simultaneous connections, a VPS and ffmpeg are not going to achieve this. Maybe a good starting point for you, but most people come undone when venturing into streaming media, because reality often hits quickly with climbing costs to stream audio / video content all self hosted.
I would be more likely to do a search and find a hosting provider that caters RTMP / FMS hosting in an all-in-one solution, or use your cheap hosting to run your site, and buy third party RTMP / FMS hosting where you just plugin the code and all the streaming is handled off-site, and you can control how much you pay, which will also give you a very good idea of site usage, whether changing to a VPS with ffmpeg is a reality or not. Maybe a month trial with such a thing is better than outlaying costs to upgrade into unknown territory!
Seriously... really do your homework with this, because I purchased flashcoms chat software years ago... thought it would be cool to enhance a site with video chat, then I quickly found my costs sky rocketing to the point of a dedicated server to handle the streaming content... all because of a neat idea. Reality, it was cheaper to pull the plug and let users use the free alternatives, ie. MSN, ICQ, Skype, GoogleTalk, etc... free live video chatting at no cost. Found the same thing when I got into streaming video content from user uploads. It gets expensive... just be warned and do your homework.
It is one thing to hotlink video from YouTube and such into your site, it is another to allow video uploading where the stream is now from your server.
