Hmm. The point, that it currently only works with mingw is more, that no
one updated the MSVC-build... As far as I know, you can use ffmpeg with
MSVC, but you have to use mingw to build the ffmpeg-lib. You can easily
link against MSVC (according to the ffmpeg-FAQ) later.

Can MSVC-people please confirm?

Since a windows-ffmpeg-build is bundled with Blender, this should work.
(Reminding me, to finally add a Linux-version, too... ;-)

You can also email me directly, if this is easier for you.
