Thanks for all your advice. After many experiments, I have found that it 
works better when compiled with MinGW version 5.0.2. ffmpeg.exe still 
doesn't work but I added the SDL library and can use ffplay.exe on a 
variety of different media types with no problems. This is using 
ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1.
