You still haven't told us *why* you want to use it. What are you hoping to 
achieve?

The project convention is not to top post. I don't really care, but some 
people won't respond if you don't conform to the community expectations.

There are numerous examples in the doc/examples/ directory in the 
distribution, or you could look at the code in the tools/ directory for a 
large example.

For linking (or building) specifically for Windows, see
https://ffmpeg.org/platform.html#Windows
