did you surround your libav header includes with :

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
#include <libavformat/avformat.h>
#include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
#include <libavcodec/opt.h>
#include <libavutil/avutil.h>
#include <libswscale/swscale.h>
#include <libavutil/fifo.h>
#include <libavutil/rational.h>
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
