Thanks for replying so quickly. According to depends.exe, the DLLs are 
indeed the ones compiled alongside the executable. I recompiled the 
whole thing from CVS just now and it would not run until I copied the 
DLLs eg:

  cp libavformat/avformat.dll ./
  cp libavcodec/avcodec.dll ./
  cp libavutil/avutil.dll ./
  ./ffmpeg -i test1.asf test1.mpeg

This time I got "The application failed to initialize properly 
(0xc0000005)" which sounds pretty dire. I think I will re-install MinGW 
from scratch and try it again. I had previously updated my MinGW gcc to 
version 3.4.2 maybe that has something to do with it.
