I've resolved all the dependent libraries and got a build and it does appear to run just fine as a 64 windows app.  This issue that I have is that its linking the external libraries as dlls instead of static libs.  I build the ffmpeg libs as static and assumed that the build would statically link all libraries, but not so.

In the binary packages distributed by ffmpeg, these dependent dlls are not there for the windows versions, regardless of a static or shared lib build, so I'm missing something in the way I'm configuring the build.
