Hello,

I did just fine with my c++ app and even with a c++ dll that exposed a 
simplified set of av_codec compression functions.

As someone mentioned earlier, it was as easy as:

extern "C" {
         #include <avcodec.h>
         #include <avformat.h>
         #include <swscale.h>
         #include <imgutils.h>
}


Have Fun!
