Learning to use the integrated debugger is definitely worthwhile... it's 
orders of magnitude more efficient than debugging using printfs...

Did you put those printfs in the ffmpeg functions themselves or in your 
own code? In the ffmpeg code, you should use av_log instead of printf -- 
but then the ffmpeg code is the same no matter if you use it with a 
program compiled in MinGW or in MSVC.

I suggest that you put a few fprintf(stderr, "...") statements in your 
own code to figure out what's going on (see my last post) -- and what 
the difference is between your program compiled under MinGW and under 
MSVC. That should help you figure out what's going on...
