First, you should probably ask these questions on libav-user at ffmpeg.org not
here, because this mailing list is meant for developing. So, you should
reply to libav-user at ffmpeg.org to continue this discussion and get input
from more users.

Second, I wrote some dll wrappers which lets you take take images and add it
to a video file (as well as other things). Unfortunately, it doesn't have
any audio components (yet). However, it should help you see how video is
typically done using the ffmpeg libraries. I'm attaching the headers and cpp
files only, if you want the full MSVC project let me know and I'll email it
to you because it relatively large. The headers and cpp files are commented,
but it also contains other stuff, like decoding so you'll have to look
around to find the relevant sections of code.

I do want to say, that I don't think it's trivial to do what you wish to do
if you're not familiar with ffmpeg because there's a learning curve and the
only way to learn is to study other people's code, the ffmpeg code and
headers and experiment. Also, look at the tutorials at the bottom of the
page posted here http://ffmpeg.org/documentation.html
