Temporarily disable a repository

Hi,

Is it possible to temporarily disable a repository? If so, how?

I'm using ffmpeg from debian-multimedia repository, but I want to use the version from official Debian lenny repository instead temporarily. What's the easiest way of doing that?

thanks

Ref:

 $ apt-cache policy ffmpeg
 ffmpeg:
