Thanks Tim,I am developing a new protocol to support reading aes-ctr ecrypted video files. So I this question is development related but I couldn't really gauge if build issues are development or not. >> But for convenience, you have to make sure the external libraries are built >> as >> static libraries with DLLs disabled, or the compiler will link to them by >> default. Im not building things like the compilers and runtime libs, they just come with the platform. Since the project distributes versions of ffmpeg builds as static exe's, I would assume there is a build process for it? (without having a specially created environment or hacking the configure file...) --john

But for convenience, you have to make sure the external libraries are built as static libraries with DLLs disabled, or the compiler will link to them by default. You are already building FFmpeg statically (since there are no libav* DLL dependencies).
